Arabic Rice

I tried this recipe on my husband's birthday. I think it can also be called Nuts rice :). Its really soft with not much spices especially for dinner.

Ingredients
Rice 1cup
Water 2cups
Onion-3 medium size
Ilaichi-2
Dalchini-1 stick
Cloves-4
Walnuts-1/4cup
Pine nuts-1/4 cup
Kaju(Cashews)-1/4 cup
Badam -10
Salt to taste

Method of Preparation
Heat oil in a presuure pan. Add onions and fry them till they become brown. Add all the nuts and fry them. Add the cloves, ilaichi and dalchini and add rice. Stir the above. Fry above for a minute and then pour hot water. For a cup of rice add 2cups of water. And salt and stir once more. Cook for one whistle. Then add fried raisins before serving..

Note: The water quantity depends on what rice is used for this like Sona Masoori or Jasmine or Basmati. so add water as you do regularly while cooking rice. Also the number of whistles for pressure cooker depends on the regular usage too.

Variation: If you dont have a pressure cooker. After adding salt just move everything to an electric Cooker.

Preparation Time: 1/2 hour Max.
