Ingredients

Instructions

Put the two cloves in the half of the onion. Let the oil get hot in a shallow saucepan, briefly fry the onion with the cloves and add the (unwashed!) Rice. Stir briefly until the rice is translucent and pour in the cold water. Add salt and cover.
After boiling, simmer on the lowest heat for 20 minutes. Do not lift the lid. After the 20 minutes, the water is completely absorbed.
Remove and discard the onion and cloves. Loosen the rice with a fork and serve.
That`s how I learned rice cooking from my mother. If you want, you can also cook 1 clove of garlic and / or 1 level tablespoon of turmeric. Unpeeled rice can be prepared in the same way, it just needs to be cooked longer.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
