Instructions

  1. Mash the cardamom pods and the cloves in a mortar so that they develop their aroma more quickly. Heat the clarified butter in the pan and heat the cloves, cardamom and bay leaf for about 1 minute. Then put the rice in the pan and let it fry briefly (approx. 2 minutes). Then add 1 - 2 knife tips of turmeric.
  2. Then add a little water. Not a lot of water, just enough to keep the rice from burning. Add a pinch of salt (better too little than too much). The water should be completely boiled after approx. 14-15 minutes. If necessary, fill up a little in between, because the rice must not burn.
  3. If you feel like it, you can add ground pepper afterwards. Don`t salt too much!

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.
