Tbh, I don't dislike cardamom pods as much as I do cloves. This abomination should not be anywhere near bariis :yloezpe:

My bariis used to be called spicy porridge, I've since changed the methods of making the bariis.

Here's my simple recipe.


I wash the rice 4 times, then soak it 30 mins before making the rice.


Cut up the onion thinly sliced.
2 tea spoons of minced garlic.
Tumeric
Curry powder
A cube of chicken bouillon
Salt to taste.
A mix of xawaash that my mom makes once a week.
1 cups of vegetable broth.
2 cinnamon sticks
5 or 7 cardamom
I don't like black whole peppers in my rice, so I skip that.




I fry the onions until golden, add the minced garlic, the spices, the chicken bouillon, until everything turns golden, add the rice, fry the rice in the spices, add the vegetable broth and 2 cups of boiling hot water. Reduce the heat after the rice boils, my biggest mistake before was I used to make the with high heat and add tons of water, I learned my lesson. When the water reduces, taste the rice, put the heat on low, cover it with aluminum foil.



Cut up onions and fry them until crispy. The garnish it on top of the rice.

Voila the simplest rice.
