Balaran Mauzac Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Cook the Rice

   In a large pot, combine the rinsed basmati rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Garlic and Ginger

   Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add Tomatoes and Spices

   Add the diced tomatoes, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens.

6. 6

   Mix in Peas

   Add the green peas to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until they are heated through.

7. 7

   Combine Rice and Mixture

   Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and gently fold it into the skillet with the tomato and pea mixture. Ensure the rice is evenly coated and mixed.

8. 8

   Garnish and Serve

   Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve warm.
