Instructions

1. 1

   Soak the basmati rice for 20 minutes, then drain thoroughly — wet rice turns mushy.

2. 2

   Heat ghee in a wide, heavy pot; fry the whole spices — bay, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves — till they swell and smell like a spice box.

3. 3

   Brown the onions properly, stir in ginger garlic paste, then bloom the powdered spices in the fat.

4. 4

   Add the eggs and saute two minutes, then slide in the drained rice and turn gently to coat every grain in the masala.

5. 5

   Add hot water and salt, bring to a rolling boil, clamp the lid and steam on the lowest heat; leave it sealed ten minutes off the flame before fluffing.
