Basmati rice 1/2 cup Curry leaves few Cloves 1 Cardamom 1 Bay leaf 1 Cinnamon 1 small stick Salt as needed Cashew nuts few (optional) Oil | ghee 2 tsp Lemon juice few drops
Cook the basmati rice by adding the cloves, cardamom, bay leaf ,cinnamon , salt and 1 tsp of oil and few drops of lemon juice. Refer my post on how to cook basmati rice. Once it is cooked, discard the whole spices and spread the rice in a plate. Chop the curry leaves finely.
In a small pan add oil and little ghee and add the curry leaves and cashew nuts to it. Add this to the rice.
Mix this well. Alternatively you can add the cooked rice to the pan and saute it for a minute or 2 in a low flame.
Serve with any gravy of your choice. In the flight they served with a Dal makhani and a cauliflower semi dry masala. So i too made the same and served.
