Sauté the onion, carrots and garlic in oil in a non-stick pan. Then add the cumin, coriander, mustard seeds and cardamom as well as the pre-cooked rice. Fry for a few minutes and then add the stock. Add the bay leaf and slowly simmer until the liquid is absorbed.
Before serving, remove the cardamom pods and the bay leaf, add the nuts, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with coriander or parsley.
Tip:
If you like, you can roast the nuts beforehand, then they have a nicer aroma.
