Ingredients
Rice and Sweetener
- 300 gm Basmati Rice washed and soaked for 1 hour
- 150 gm Jaggery grated; adjust to taste
Spices and Aromatics
- 1/2 tsp Fennel Seeds saunf
- 17.5 strands Saffron Strands
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Nuts and Dry Fruits
Instructions
Prepare the Nuts and Saffron
- Warm the milk and gently steep the saffron strands. Slice the almonds and cashews lengthwise into halves. In a heavy-bottomed pan, melt 2 tablespoons of desi ghee over low heat. Add the almonds, cashews, and dried coconut; stir-fry until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Jaggery Syrup
- In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of desi ghee. Heat for 1 minute. Add the fennel seeds and let them splutter for about 10 seconds. Add the grated jaggery, sugar (if using), black currants, and water. Bring to a boil.
Cook the Rice
- Once the jaggery and sugar have melted (about 2 minutes), stir in the salt and soaked basmati rice. Add the saffron-infused milk. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the rice is almost cooked (20-25 minutes, depending on the rice).
Finish and Serve
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Cover with a heavy lid and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Gently fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains. Stir in the fried nuts and coconut. Serve warm. The caramelized sugar will add a delightful crunch.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Tairi
- For an even richer flavor, toast the fennel seeds lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the jaggery syrup.
- Adjust the amount of jaggery according to your preference for sweetness. Taste the syrup before adding the rice and adjust accordingly.
- Using a heavy-bottomed pan helps to prevent burning and ensures even cooking of the rice.
- If you don't have saffron, you can substitute with a pinch of turmeric for a similar golden hue. However, the flavor will differ.
