Ingredients
Directions
Cook the Rice
- In a deep saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice and cook until 70% cooked, about 10 minutes.
- Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Jaggery Syrup
- In the same saucepan, add ghee and heat over medium flame. Add crushed cardamoms, cinnamon, and cloves, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add jaggery and 1/4 cup of water. Stir until jaggery melts completely and forms a syrup.
Combine and Cook
- Add the partially cooked rice to the jaggery syrup, stirring gently to mix.
- Add saffron milk and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, letting the rice absorb the syrup and spices.
- Turn off the heat and allow the rice to sit covered for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Garnish and Serve
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Transfer to a serving dish.
- Garnish with slivered almonds and chopped pistachios. Serve warm.
