Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Soak the basmati rice in water for 30 minutes and then drain it well.
Step 2
Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet. Sauté the chopped onions, raisins, and cashew nuts (or slivered almonds) until they turn golden brown. Set them aside.
Step 3
Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet. Add the soaked basmati rice and fry until the rice grains are separate and no longer stick together.
Step 4
Add all the spices (Coriander powder, Chilli powder, Nutmeg powder, Cinnamon powder, Clove powder, Turmeric powder) to the rice in the skillet and mix well to combine.
Step 5
Transfer the seasoned basmati rice into a baking pan. Add salt and 1 1/2 cups of water, stirring gently to distribute.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and tender. Once baked, gently fold in the steamed vegetables, and the sautéed onions, raisins, and cashew nuts (or slivered almonds) into the rice.
