Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the basmati rice and onion until the rice kernels are coated with butter and the onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. The rice will give off a slightly toasted fragrance.
  2. Pour in water, and mix in salt, cinnamon sticks and bay leaf.
