4. Over medium heat, warm the olive oil or peanut oil in a sauté pan or large skillet and add the cinnamon stick (break it in half), bay leaf, cumin powder, whole clove and peppercorns. Warm these spices for just 10 to 15 seconds, then add the onion and heat until the onion is well cooked or softened.

5. Add the soaked but uncooked Basmati rice, and toast, stirring, for 20 to 30 seconds, just until lightly browned, then add the water and bring to a boil.
