Spiced Rice


Rinse rice thoroughly, approximately half a cup per person.

For each cup rice, add:

1.75 cups water. 5 bruised cardamom pods (bruised = cracked open, but
not peeled)
5 whole cloves
5 whole all spice
5 whole black pepper
1 inch cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon turmeric per cup rice (optional)

Bring to boil. Stir. Put oven on minimum, put lid on pot & cook until done (without raising lid), about 15 minutes.
