Directions:
- Prepare the Rice:
- Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a pot, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and fluffy.
- Saute the Vegetables:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger. Cook until softened.
- Add 2 cups of mixed vegetables (such as carrots, peas, bell peppers) and cook until tender.
- Prepare the Spice Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
- Combine and Simmer:
- Add the spice mixture to the skillet with the vegetables and stir well.
- Gently fold in the cooked rice until evenly combined. Cover and let simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Optional Cook’s Note:
- Don’t have basmati rice? You can use any long-grain rice as a substitute.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand or prefer.
