Well sure someone needs to put a few packs of black cat (firecrackers) on their catalytic converter. ;)

Okay, here ya go:

Chelow

4 Servings

One cup basmati rice
6 tablespoons ghee
1 tablespoon salt

Directions:

1) Wash rice twice and soak in salted warm water for 2-3 hours, then drain the water. Pour water in a large pan until it is half-full and bring it to a boil.

2) Add rice and a spoonful of salt and continue boiling until rice slightly softens. Pour rice into a drain and wash it with slightly warm water.

3) Pour 3 spoonfuls of ghee into a heavy sauce pan and add rice. Make a volcano out of the rice so that the rice doesn't contact the sides of the pan too much and there is a hole down the center. Pour 3 more spoonfuls of ghee over rice. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for about 30-45 minutes. If cooking time is increased, a delicious crispy layer of rice (called ta-dig) will form at the bottom of the pan. <== good stuff

Options:

Saffron
Soak a pinch of saffron in a few tablespoon of hot water, add a layer of the rice to the bottom of the pan as in step 3) above. Then stir the saffron and water into the remaining rice. Add this rice to the pan and build the volcano. The point here is to keep the saffron from becoming part of the crispy layer.

Even better:
In addition to adding saffron, add dry barberries or dried sour cherries. Soak the dried barberries or cherries in the water with the saffron.

I prefer the saffron/barberry combination.
