Step 2: Next, add in the rice (making sure to rinse out the rice until a clear colour in the water is visible)

Step 3: Spices go in next, add in all of the above stir around so all the spices have mixed in well.

Step 4: Next pour in 800ml of water and bring it to a boil before covering with a lid and cooking the rice on medium heat. This will take about 12-13 minutes, once all the water has gone.
