This dish, Peela Bhat, is the traditional accompaniment for Dhansak. To make it, the uncooked rice is briefly tossed in caramelized sugar before being cooked with fragrant cumin seeds and cardamom pods.
Wash the rice two or three times in cold water or until the water runs clear, then soak it for about 20 minutes. Leave the rice to drain in a sieve (strainer).
In a heavy pan, heat the oil over a medium heat and add the sugar. The sugar will begin to turn brown in a few seconds.
