First, place a pressure cooker on the stove and add the ghee. Once the ghee is hot, add the clove and cardamom.

Add the rice, sugar to taste, and the saffron water. Sprinkle a little water, mix well, and close the pressure cooker. Cook on medium heat until you hear one whistle, then turn off the heat.

Garnish with almonds and serve warm or cold, as you prefer. This dish tastes great both ways and can be made ahead and enjoyed later.

In Rajasthan, sweet rice is often prepared as an offering the day before the Basera festival and served as prasad the next day. It tastes just as good cold as it does warm. Let us know how you liked it!
