Yet another one from the hills, KP is a staple diet for J&K baashinde. Makes for a perfect Sunday lunch buddy, along with gravy & TV :D
You'll need:
- 500 gm basmati rice (Since am a rice freak, I've started using Arise from Saffola. This rice brand is apparently lighter than most regular rices. They have some 3-4 variants. Just pick any) :)
- 2 cups milk (avoid skimmed milk; taste won't be as wonderful) :P
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1 cup chopped dry fruits (cashew nuts, raisins & sweetened cherries)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp ghee
- 4 cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 inch cinnamon stick
- 4 green cardamoms
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- Rose water
- Salt to taste
- Pinch of saffron
1. Start by gently washing the rice. Keep in mind to rinse it several times, till you see clear water coming out of the container. This basically removes any starch & other residue, else the rice will be sticky while cooking. Once done, soak the rice in clean water for 15 min.
2. Now, heat the ghee in a pan. Add the cloves, cinnamon, cumin seeds, bay leaves & cardamoms. Then, add the soaked rice to it & fry for 2 min.
3. Follow this by adding the cream, milk, sugar, salt & 1/2 a cup of water. Then bring to a boil. Cover it with a lid, bring the flame to a sim level & cook till done.
4. Once cooked, toss in the chopped mixed fruits, and mix it in. Finally, sprinkle few drops of the rose water. Topped by saffron, for a wonderful color.
KP done!!
Tip to Taste: Along with dry fruits, a lot of people also add fresh fruits & vegetables like apples, pomegranates, carrots, beans, peas, corn & even paneer!! I feel it will taste even more yum :D
