Of course you don't eat the bay leaves nor the cinnamon stick - I left those in an attempt to make the picture look more fancy!
On a completely different note Gordon Ramsay's Spicy Sausage Rice recipe but something you might want to check out.
Yield: 4

Jeera Rice
Jeera Rice or also known as Cumin Rice
ingredients:
300g of good quality basmati rice (I always use Tilda)
2 tbsp ghee or melted unsalted butter
a handful of cashew nuts
1 tbsp cumin seeds
2 bay leaves
4 black peppercorns
1 cinnamon stick - broken in half
3 cloves
1 onion - finely sliced
400ml water
1 tsp salt - or to taste
instructions
Wash the rice in cold water and then leave to soak in fresh cold water for 30 minutes.
Heat the ghee or butter in a large saucepan and add the cashew nuts. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes until golden - keep stirring to be sure not the let them burn.
Remove the nuts from the pan and set aside.
To the same pan add the cumin, bay leaves, peppercorns and cinnamon. Fry for a bit until the spices begin to smell lovely.
Now add the sliced onion and cook gently for about 6 minutes so they get nice and soft and just start to colour a bit.
Drain the rice well and tip into the saucepan and stir to coat well with the spices and the ghee.
Pour in the water, add the salt to your taste and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and cover with a lid.
Simmer for about 10 minutes,the rice will be almost cooked and most of the water absorbed.
Turn off the heat and leave the pan there still covered to for another 5 minutes.
Fork through to separate and stir through the cashew nuts.
Serve immediately whilst still hot.
