SPICED BASMATI RICE PILAF
To wash or not to wash rice? In the case of basmati, no matter what, I always soak it. It cleans out any small particles and it also rids the rice of any starch on the grain. I do use the soaking water to cook the rice. This recipe is hypnotic and makes cooking such a simple ingredient easy. I leave the bay leaves and cinnamon in for rustic elegance. Remove them once cooked, if you want.

Steps:
- Prepare the rice: Soak the rice in 3 cups cold water for 30 minutes to remove the starch.
- Cook the rice: Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat and add butter, onions, and 2 tablespoons water. Cook until translucent but not browned, 5 to 8 minutes. To the pan add cardamom seeds, cayenne, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves. Stir, and toast until fragrant, 2 minutes. Then, add the rice plus soaking liquid to the pot. Add salt to taste. Bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes. Cover, turn off the heat, and let steam for another 10 minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork and serve.

I like to add in a pinch of cayenne pepper and saffron also but that is optional, this is very good! :)

Steps:
- Wash rice by rinsing in cold water. Then soak in cold water for about 30 minutes. Drain.
- In a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add onion and cook, stirring, until onion is tender. Add garlic, and saute for about a minute. Add cardamom, coriander, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. Saute for another minute and add the rice. Saute until rice is translucent and begins to brown. Add water, bay leaf and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partly covered, for about 10 minutes. Most of the water will evaporate and steam holes will show through rice.
- Add peas, but do not stir. Cover tightly and let simmer for 5 minutes more. Turn off the heat and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, covered.
- Prepare the raita: In a bowl whisk together the yogurt, cucumber, mint, cumin, chili powder and salt and pepper.
- Uncover the pilaf, season with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf, cloves and cinnamon stick. Turn pilaf out onto a serving platter and pour half of the raita over rice. Pass remaining raita.

- Put the whole spices (cardamom, peppercorns, cloves, and cinnamon) into a muslin bag or a spice infuser and crush slightly.
- When it's hot enough to shimmer, add the cumin seeds and let them splutter. It will sound like popcorn starting to pop. If you're NOT using a muslin bag for your spices, you will add all spices at this point.
