Instructions

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain.

In a large pan, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are golden brown.

Add the minced garlic, cumin seeds, ground coriander, turmeric powder, cardamom powder, cinnamon powder, and bay leaf to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
