Instructions:

Another Mogul classic, this time prepared very elaborately with raisins, almond kernels and pistachios and served in a ring of butter-glazed peaches.

1. rinse long grain basmati rice according to the instructions.

2. soak long grain rice in a baking bowl with 3/4 quart cold water for half an hour. Drain and save the water.

Blanch the fresh peaches in bubbling hot water for 1/2 minute, then rinse in cold water and remove the skin. Cut into 1 cm thick slices. If you are using canned peaches, soak them in cold salted water for 1/2 hour. In this way, you will remove the excessive sweetness from the peaches. Drain off the water and dry the peaches.

4. Heat usli ghee in a large heavy saucepan. Saute the peach slices in it for about 2-3 min until light brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a large enough bowl.

Sauté the slivered almonds in the butter (about 1-2 min). Drain on kitchen roll. Later, toast the pistachios and keep them ready for garnish as well.

Increase the heat and sauté the finely chopped onion in the butter for about 2 minutes, stirring until translucent. Add the cinnamon and sauté for 1 more minute. Add drained long-grain rice and roast until long-grain rice is coated with butter and begins to brown. Add saffron, cardamom, salt, raisins, milk and the water set aside,
