Ingredients
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 cups rice
3 1/2 cups hot water
1 teaspoons salt
3 cardamom pods
1 cinnamon stick
Method:
In a medium nonstick pot over medium heat, heat the oil until it shimmers. Add the turmeric and stir for a few seconds until fragrant. Stir in the rice, hot water, salt, cardamom, and cinnamon. Raise the heat to high and boil the rice until visible moisture is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Lower heat to low, and simmer rice, covered, for 20 minutes. Turn the rice gently with a wooden spoon 2 to 3 times while simmering to allow it to fluff. Serve with cardamom and cinnamon still in the rice, for garnish.
