Instructions

1. Wash the rice under running water and let it drain.
2. Let the oil get hot in a medium-sized, heavy saucepan and add the spices, i.e. cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks and bay leaves and fry briefly. Then add the washed rice and stir until everything is completely dry. Now add the water and the handful of raisins, currants and nuts afterwards. Season with salt.
3. As an aside, I would like to note that roasting the nuts beforehand brings a lot more flavor.
4. Bring to the boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat so that the water only boils slightly. Cook for 15-20 minutes with the lid closed.
