This rice may be served in one large bowl or, for an eye-catching individual presentation, shaped into small pyramids by pressing it into a three-inch metal pyramid mold.
米饭可以放在大碗中，也可以为了美观、个性，放入锥形的金属模子中团成小金字塔形。 
  
2 cups basmati rice   
2杯巴士马蒂米（印度米）  
Grated zest of 2 lemons   
2只柠檬，榨碎  
8 whole green cardamom pods  , lightly cracked open 
8只完整的绿色小豆蔻，轻轻地打开  
2 teaspoons salt   
2茶匙盐 
2 three-inch cinnamon sticks  , halved crosswise 
2根3英寸长的玉桂枝，斜切成两半 

Method: 方法
 
1.   Rinse rice in a sieve under cool running water. Transfer to a medium saucepan with 3 1/2 cups water. Add zest of 1 lemon, cardamom, salt, and cinnamon. Cover; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Cook, covered, until water evaporates, about 10 minutes.
把米放入筛子中，用冷流动水冲洗。取一只中等炖锅，放入3 1/2杯水。加入一只柠檬榨的调料，盐和肉桂。盖上盖子，开水煮。然后慢炖。大约10分钟后，水分完全被吸收。

2.   Turn off the heat, and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Use a fork to fluff the rice, and transfer to a serving platter; remove cardamom and cinnamon if desired, and sprinkle with remaining lemon zest. Serve immediately. 
关火，依然盖上盖子静放5分钟。用叉子叉松米饭，放入一只大浅盘。如果需要的话可以挑出小豆蔻和肉桂枝，撒上剩余的柠檬汁即可食用。
