🫓 Key Ingredients
-
Rice: High-quality, aged Basmati rice is the standard choice. The long, slender grains stay separate and fluffy after cooking.
-
Cumin Seeds (Jeera): The star ingredient. When sautéed in fat, they release a warm, nutty, and earthy aroma.
-
Fats: Traditionally made with Ghee (clarified butter) for a rich, nutty flavor, though vegetable oil is used for a lighter or vegan version.
-
Whole Spices (Khada Masala): While cumin is the focus, many recipes add a few whole spices like bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves, and green cardamom to deepen the fragrance.
