Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a deep saucepan, sauté the onion in oil with the cloves, cardamom, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, and nigella seeds (if using) until the onion is lightly browned and softened. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the rice and stir it in the oil, spices, and onion until smooth and glossy. Then pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.

  3. Turn off the heat, remove the lid, cover the pan with a kitchen towel, and replace the lid. You can let the rice rest like this for at least 10 minutes and up to an hour. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve, sprinkled with toasted almonds and cilantro.
