This basmati is toasted in oil, studded with juicy raisins and salty cashews, and spiced with cinnamon and cloves. You'll never look at rice the same way again, and you shouldn't.

ingredients
1/2 cup basmati rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 (2-inch size) cinnamon stick
1 whole clove
1/2 bay leaf, very finely crumbled
1/4 cup sliced cashews
2 tablespoons seedless raisins
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
directions
Rinse the basmati rice several times in cold water until the water runs clear. Place the rice in a bowl and cover it with cold water. Let the basmati rice soak for 30 minutes then transfer to a sieve and let the rice drain for 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is soft. Turn the heat to medium.
Add the drained rice to the skillet. Stir in the cinnamon stick, clove, bay leaf, cashews, and raisins. Mix well, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.
Add the water and salt. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let the basmati rice cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. If the rice needs to cook longer but the liquid is gone, add a little extra water and cook until the rice is done. Remove the cinnamon stick and clove, if desired.
Stir the basmati pullao and serve it warm.
