Rinse the basmati rice in cold water until the water runs clear, then drain and set aside.
Heat ghee in a medium lidded saucepan over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onion and sauté until golden brown and soft.
Add whole cumin seeds, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick, bay leaves, and ground turmeric. Fry gently for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the drained basmati rice and coat well in the spiced ghee for 1 minute.
Pour in water and add salt. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
Cook undisturbed for 12 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and leave to rest covered for 10 minutes without lifting the lid. Fluff gently with a fork before serving.
