Instructions: Heat oil, add onion and cook until soft. Add spices and fry 1 minute. Stir in rice and fry until rice is well coated. Add salt and boiling water.

Return to a boil, over medium heat. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until all water is absorbed and rice is tender (about 15 min). Heat butter in small skillet. Add raisins and nuts. Fry until raisins are plump and nut are golden brown. Stir into rice. (You might want to remove the whole spices first.)
