* 1 cup of Basmati rice
* 2 tablespoons of Vegetable oil or Ghee
* 1 large Onion, peeled and finely chopped
* 2 teaspoons of white Cumin seeds
* Boiling water or vegetable stock
* Chopped Coriander leaves to garnish
===Method===
* Cook the Rice in lots of Boiling water until the rice is soft on the outside but still has a tiny bite to it. About 5 minutes
* Remove from the heat and drain in a Sieve
* Meanwhile, add the Ghee and Onions to a large pan and sauté until they just turn Brown.
* Stir in the Cumin seeds.
* Once they start to pop, stir in the Rice.
* Add half a cup of Boiling water or vegetable stock, cover with a lid, placing a cloth between the pan and the lid being careful not to catch it alight!
* Simmer gently for a further 5 minutes then remove from the heat and let it stand for 7 to 10 minutes so all of the water is absorbed. Don't stir or mix it at all during this process.
