- 0.5 cup Raisins

Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, crushed cardamom pods, and salt. Bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
