This worked really well, although I did get some rice stick to the bottom of the bowl in that 5 minutes.

That looks really good Fundj. It's the only way I cook rice now - so easy.

As I don't have a Thermoserver yet, would this work without one? The idea of freeing up the TMX bowl, of which I only have one, is very appealing.

Thanks  :)

The rice need to be kept warm , so that it continues to 'cook'.  Either a Thermos or there are other containers which are similar to the , are available.  I cook the rice at a time convienient to me,  leave it in the jug until ready, set aside and reheat in the microwave when I wish to serve it.

And, here's another version:

Spiced Basmati Rice

250g rice  

480g of boiling water
1 Tbsp ghee
3 cloves
3 cardamom pods
1 stick cinnamon
1 tsp turmeric
1 Tbsp pine nuts

Place rice in TM basket and rinse really well under cold water(until water runs clear). Allow to drain and rest for half an hour.
When ready to cook:
Add ghee to TM bowl and melt on Varoma, speed 1 for 30 seconds. Add rice and sauté on Varoma, for 1 minute, speed 1.
Add all other ingredients.
Cook at Varoma for 5 minutes, speed 1.
Tip into Thermoserver and set aside for 25 mins.

If you don't want to wait, don't wash the rice.

Oh, forgot to add! Take out the cardamom pods before serving. They are a tad unpleasant to chew on if you're not expecting them... ;)
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

MJ,  love the look of the spices.  Why do you say, not to wash the rice if you don't want to wait?

I imagine because you need to wait half an hour after washing for it to drain?
