I found this took much, much longer to ensure the rice softened enough to be edible (and far more liquid. In addition, while the flavor was lovely, having that many whole cloves in the pot was a danger while eating, because you can’t just quickly remove them, so I was constantly afraid one was going to chip a tooth. I would recommend grinding a smaller amount of them and stirring it in instead, or putting the cloves in a cheesecloth bag with the cinnamon stick so they can be removed at the very end.

In reply to food person. Ahh good catch and sorry! Honestly you can put them in anytime, But I add them just before it finishes cooking. Last 5 minutes.

In reply to Lorrie. You put uncooked rice in the pot. Not a silly question!

This may seem a silly question, but is the rice in this recipe prepared or uncooked? Thanks!
