Fresh cardamom, cumin seeds and cinnamon hit the rice with a delicate spice punch… the onions are cooked slowly until golden, soft and caramelised… add to that ginger and garlic which give a subtle flavour burst… all together this onion pulao is the perfect accompaniment to any curry or daal!

I would be happy with nothing else but a big bowl of this deeeeelish oniony-biryani like rice… All made in my gorgeous new @stellarkitchenware saucepans!
