| Instructions: |
Rinse rice in fine colander or deep bowl until water runs clear. Let the
rice drain. In medium saucepan with heavy bottom, heat oil over medium
high heat. Saute onion and garlic 5-10 minutes until desired doneness,
stirring constantly so garlic does not burn. Add all the ground spices
and stir to coat onions, then add rice, water, bay leaf and salt and stir
to combine. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer until
all liquid appears to be absorbed, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to very
low, place cover over the pan and cook. Stir frequently so the rice does
not stick to the pan. Let cook for about another 15 minutes until the
rice is tender.
