Chef's Notes
Treat your basmati rice with absolute respect; draining it properly after its twenty-minute soak ensures every grain stands proud and separate.
Pro Tip
Want to elevate the aroma? Let your whole spices crackle in the hot ghee for an extra five seconds before adding the onions.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you blast the heat on high during the final simmer, your water will evaporate before the rice core cooks, leaving you with crunchy, half-raw rice pebbles.
