Parsi Rice with Cloves and Cinnamon
Parsi Pullao
India
Soak Time: 30 min
Prep Time: 10-15 min (can be done during soak time, includes carmelizing sugar)
Cook Time: 30-35 min (5-10 min active)
Start to finish time: about 60 min
WW Pts (1/2 oil, 6 svgs): 6
WW Pts (as directed, 6 svgs): 7
Bonus: delicious, few ingredients, very little chopping
Bummer: lots of dishes to wash
This was the first time we made this and it is really yummy. It's a slightly sweet rice dish, fragranced with cloves. The amount of effort needed to go from plain rice to fancy rice dish is minimal when compared to the changes in flavor and texture.
The directions in the book don't say to add water until after it carmelizes, but that wasn't working, so we added a wee little bit of water to get the sugar to melt. I included this in step in prep time, because it seems like the sugar water can be made a few hours before completing the dish.
the spices and onion browning and the completed yumminess
I needed three pots/pans to make this - one for soaking the rice, one for sauteeing the onions & spices and one for carmelizing the sugar. It was worth it - this dish took leftover South Indian Cabbageto a whole new level.
Leftovers
Leftover rice is usually fine (just add some water when reheating) and this rice is no exception. The recipe makes alot, so you'll probably have leftovers - enjoy them.

wait, i didn't write that i've been meaning to make this and that it looks so simple and yummy??
It was really simple and yummy, but again, I think the onions may be key here.
My grandmother hates onions and they never have fresh ones in the house and she doesn't cook with them. I'm sure this makes my grandfather unhappy as he loves strong flavors and could probably eat an entire sliced onion on a bagel. Anyhow, he keeps onion flakes in the kitchen, which may work in certain dishes.
made it. sooo good.
I love your blog, and look forward to more entries. I don't know if you have tried the following dishes yet, but I highly recommend them:
black-eyed peas with dill and corn
african peanut stew
lentils with onions, with gingery spinach (and yogurt, if you like)
all the garbanzo bean flour pancakes and pizzas.
