1
Rinse the Rice
Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
2
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tsp of salt to the boiling water.
3
Cook the Rice
Add the rinsed basmati rice to the boiling water. Stir once and reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

4
Toast the Cumin Seeds
In a small pan over medium heat, melt 2 tbs of butter. Add 1 tsp of cumin seeds and toast them for about 1-2 minutes until they are fragrant.
5
Add Spices
Once the cumin seeds are toasted, add 1 tsp of turmeric powder and 1 tsp of black pepper. Stir well to combine, cooking for an additional minute.

6
Combine Rice and Spices
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Pour the spice mixture over the rice and gently mix to incorporate all the flavors.
7
Garnish
Chop 1 tbs of fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the rice. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
