The first time I had this rice was at a friends wedding. I could not get over how fragrant the rice was and its taste. I asked for the recipe from his Mum and I had to emulate it.
The secret was using Ghee, which is clarified butter. I decided to use buerre noisette (caramelised butter) instead cause I like to infusions.
Naturally I made my own butter from double cream as shown below;
INGREDIENTS
250g of Basmati Rice with a minimum age of 10yrs

1 Cinnamon stick
3-4 Green Chillies

1 heaped tablespoonful of Cumin seeds

Salt to taste
