Инструкции
- Wash the rice in cold water, squeezing gently with your fingers, till the water runs clear. Put the rice in about 2 c. of cold water to soak for 20 min. Strain soak water into saucepan and heat. Leave rice to dry in strainer. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- While rice is drying, chop onion finely and set aside. Dice carrots and set aside. Measure spices.
- When rice is dry, heat oil over medium-high flame in heavy, oven-proof skillet or possibly casserole dish. Add in spices. When spices become fragrant, add in butter and onions. Cook till onions are tender and light golden. Add in carrots and cook for 3-5 min.
- Add in rice and cook, stirring very gently for 5 min. Add in salt and heated soak water, bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer till water on top of rice has boiled off. Cover tightly and cook for 20 min at 350 degrees F. Remove from oven, let rest for 10 min, then serve.
- NOTES:* Basmati Rice with Carrots - This is a delicate, fragrant rice dish, one of our favorites. I got the recipe from an Indian cooking class. It's a bit of work, but well worth it.
- * It is important to handle the rice gently so which the grains are not broken. It's also important to use whole spices; grnd spices would overpower the rice.
- * This dish can be re-heated in the oven.
- Difficulty: easy.
- Time: 30 min preparation, 30 min cooking and cooling.
- Precision: measure the ingredients.
