Method
- Wash the rice well and soak it in water for 15 to 20 minutes, then drain.
- Soak the saffron strands in a spoon of warm milk or water and keep aside.
- Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan on low flame, add the drained rice and roast lightly for 2 minutes, stirring gently.
- Add enough water and a pinch of salt, cover and cook on low flame until the rice turns completely soft and starts breaking down slightly.
- Add the sugar and mix well, continuing to simmer on low flame, stirring often so it does not stick to the bottom.

- Turn off the flame, crush the cardamom lightly and stir it in for aroma.
