Wash the rice well, drain excess water and keep aside.
In a large bottom pan, heat ghee and add the bay leaf, cumin and caraway seeds. Cook on low heat for a few seconds till the seeds start to crackle.
Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes to lightly fry the rice.
Next add required quantity of water and salt to taste.
Cook till the rice is done and then remove from flame.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot.
Notes
As with any long grained rice, the general proportion of rice to water is 1:2. But sometimes, 1:1 works fine; so make sure you add water according to packet instructions.
