Instructions
-
Heat oil and ghee in a large pot over medium heat.
-
Add the whole spices (cinnamon, bay leaves, cardamom, cloves, and dried lime if using) and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
-
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown.
-
Add the grated carrot, grated tomato, curry powder, and turmeric. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the rinsed rice, salt, and boiling water or broth and water. Stir and bring to a boil.
-
Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes without opening the lid.
-
If using food coloring, add it on top of the rice without stirring. After the 10 minutes, fluff the rice with a fork. The food coloring will remain on top, creating a beautiful layered effect.
-
Serve with chicken, grilled meats, or any dish of your choice.
