Hello from Al Najjar Mills family, we are happy to share with you some of the healthy recipes and tips that can be prepared using ingredients from our shop. We hope you enjoy the authentic and high quality food products for your dishes as much as we do!
The type of rice used for Kabse should always be long-grain rice, whether Parboiled (Thai/American) rice, or Indian Basmati rice. In this recipe, we will be using the traditional Creamy Indian Basmati rice from our shop, along with our ready-to-use Kabse Spices which are the perfect ingredients for this authentic dish. We will only cook the rice, add the spices and the nuts. Be free to cook meat, chicken or fish with the dish altogether or on the side!

How to Make Rice Kabse

First, you need to wash the rice properly until the water becomes completely transparent, before draining it well. Our Creamy Indian Basmati rice does not need to be soaked before cooking, but we like to soak it for 15 minutes before cooking for a longer grain size!

Add a little of olive oil in a pot over high heat, add the onions and garlic and stir until golden brown.
-
Add the Kabse Spices, Cinnamon stick, Bay Leaf, Dried lemon and salt to taste.
-
Add 50 grams of Golden Raisins to the pot.
-
Add 1 cup of washed/soaked rice and stir for less than a minute.
-
Add 2 cups water and stir over high heat.
-
When the water start to boil, lower the heat, cover the pot and let it simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.
-
Remove the pot from the heat and cover for 5 minutes before serving.
-
In the meantime, roast the raw Cashews and Pistachios.
-
Serve the rice with chicken, meat or fish and add the roasted nuts on top of them. Enjoy!
