Basmati Rice (Version 2)

I've had good results with this recipe given to me by a Parsi friend of mine.

4 c water
2 c (500 ml) basmati rice
2 tsp (10 ml) salt
1 T canola oil
5 green cardamom pods
5 whole cloves

Wash the rice in cold water until the water is clear, rubbing the grains gently between your fingers. Pour four cups water into a medium-size pot and dissolve the salt. Add the oil and bring to a boil. Add the rice, stir once, add the spices, stir again, cover and reduce to lowest heat. Continue to cook for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the lid, and with a spatula, turn the rice over (it will be moist at the bottom). Leave it for a few more minutes, uncovered, for the moisture to be absorbed.
