Method
- Rinse the rice and soak for 60 minutes.
- Boil the rice in plenty of water with the colour for 6–7 minutes, until three-quarters cooked. Drain.
- Warm the ghee with the cardamom and cloves. Add the sugar and ¼ cup water and cook until the sugar melts.
- Fold in the rice, nuts and raisins gently so the grains don't break.
- Cover and give it 15 minutes of dum on the lowest heat, until the syrup is absorbed and the grains are glossy. Garnish and serve warm.
Timings are written for Hima Steam. With another rice, adjust the soak and boil to the grain.
