    1. Soak the raisins in warm water ahead of time. 2. Rinse the rice thoroughly — keep going until the water runs completely clear. 3. Put the basmati in a medium saucepan, then add the bay leaf, sea salt, and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. 4. Add the water, stir, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the pan, and cook the basmati for 15 minutes. 5. Take the pan off the heat, remove the bay leaf, and gently fluff the rice with a fork. Cover and let it sit for 10 minutes. 6. Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the peeled garlic. Grate the ginger root. 7. Drain the raisins in a colander, rinse with boiled water, and let them drain — you can even squeeze them gently. 8. Heat a skillet with the remaining olive oil and add the onion. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is soft. 9. Add the garlic, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, and curry powder to the onion. Stir and cook for 1 minute. 10. Toss the raisins with the maple syrup and add them to the skillet with the onion and spices. 11. Now add the rice to the skillet in batches, stirring well but gently each time. Keep it over the heat for another half a minute, then turn it off. Your basmati with raisins and spices is ready — enjoy!
