The simplest pulao yet ("less is more", continued).

Having stocked up with some remaindered Waitrose Indian and Asian pre-prepared main meal dishes at the beginning of the week, and wanting one of them for a quick lunch yesterday, I decided to abandon my normal pulao rice régime and try something simpler and quicker. I gave one cup of basmati rice a good wash in a rice sieve in two changes of water, gave it a quick shake to get rid of excess water, then straight into a Pyrex® casserole dish with lid into which I had already put a little Tesco chilli-infused (olive) oil. On top of the rice I added some Tesco garlic-infused (olive) oil, about three star anise, one whole clove of garlic, a little sea salt, a little MSG, and then covered it with boiling water to a depth of 1/3". Into the microwave oven (850W) for 12 minutes, then allowed it to steam for a further 20 minutes at 10%. Eaten with the Panang chicken curry, the rice was good but not outstanding; that evening, though, when I felt peckish and saw there was some rice left in the casserole dish, it was absolutely superb. So good, in fact, that I ate every last grain, completely cold, and added just a little lime pickle towards the end to give it extra zing. Super pulao rice, and so so simple to prepare. Try it.
