BAHRAINI SWEET RICE (MUHAMMAR)



Bahraini Sweet Rice (Muhammar) image

Wonderful, aromatic and flavourful! The best Muhammar I have made and I have tried a number! Very important to use a cast iron pan or heavy pan and lots of butter to form the crust part properly, this makes it way more flavourful as well. This is very good served with Gulf Arabian fish or shrimp dishes as it is traditional. Modified from a recipe found on http://desertcandy.blogspot.com. A great example this rice goes with is recipe#443922.

Time 43m

Yield 4 , 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup basmati rice, rinsed in cold water
1/4 cup date molasses (date syrup, dibs tamar in Arabic, found in Middle Eastern shops)
1/4 teaspoon saffron, ground (I use a mortar and pestle. Iranian saffron is definitely superior in taste and colour)
1/4 tablespoon cardamom, freshly ground
1 teaspoon rose water (I prefer Iranian, I find flower waters vary quite a bit in quality)
sea salt, to taste
4 tablespoons butter, a lot is needed to form the sought after crust (or ghee, (or more)

Steps:

  • Combine, saffron, freshly ground cardamom and rose water in a small cup.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil with sea salt to taste. Add the rice and boil uncovered for precisely 8 minutes, then drain.
  • Mix the date molasses with the rice, then mix in the rose water mixture.
  • Choose a medium sized heavy bottomed pot (I use a cast iron pan, see intro). Melt the butter in it over medium heat. Add 2 spatula-fulls of rice and mix with the butter, patting down to cover the bottom of the dish. Pile the reminder of the rice in a loose cone shape and poke a few holes in the rice with the spoon handle. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of water over the rice, then cover tightly. Place over medium low heat and let cook for 20-25 minutes. Keep a close eye at the end as the rice can burn (use your nose to see if it begins to smell burned).
  • The easiest way to unmold the rice is to prepare a sinkful of cold water, dip the bottom of the pot in cold water for about 30 seconds, then invert the pot onto a serving platter. If the rice crust does not release fully, simply break up the crunchy pieces that stuck to the pot and scatter over top.
  • Serve with recipe#443922 or a Gulf Arabian fish or shrimp dish.
  • Enjoy!

This is one of the most famous Bahraini dishes. It is a sweet rice dish which is typically served with fish. I just wanted to add: this recipe calls for 6 cloves, HOWEVER, I think it REALLY ONLY NEEDS 2 cloves!

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 34m

Yield 3 , 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 teaspoon saffron thread
3 cardamom pods, cracked
1 1/2 tablespoons rose water (I prefer the Iranian ones superior)
1 1/2 cups white basmati rice
5 cups water
salt
1/3 cup white sugar, or
1/3 cup honey (I like the taste with sugar & honey but you can use all honey or traditional dibs, date molasses)
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup ghee

Steps:

  • In a small bowl or Arabian coffee cup (perfect size) put saffron, rose water and the cardamom.
  • Wash the white Basmati rice until the water runs clear.
  • In a large heavy pot boil the water.
  • Stir in salt and rice and return water to a boil stirring occasionally.
  • Boil uncovered for 8 minutes.
  • Drain.
  • Melt the butter or ghee in the same pan the rice was cooked. Add the rice back in with sugar and or honey.
  • Sprinkle the rose water and spices on top of the rice.
  • Using the end of a wooden spoon, make 3 small holes in the rice.
  • Cover the pan with a paper towel and place lid tightly on top.
  • Cook over low heat about 20 minutes, until done. (I personally leave the dish on one of the vents from the oven to my stove which is underneath when the oven is preheated at 325F until serving up to 2 hours later).
  • Please try this dish with Recipe #372093 because they go extremely well together.
  • Enjoy.
