Hilbido Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinsing the Rice

   Begin by rinsing the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.

2. 2

   Soaking the Rice

   Soak the rinsed rice in water for about 30 minutes. This helps in achieving fluffy rice.

3. 3

   Heating the Ghee

   In a large pot, heat the ghee over medium heat. Once melted, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

4. 4

   Sautéing Onions

   Add the thinly sliced onions to the pot and sauté until they turn golden brown.

5. 5

   Adding Aromatics

   Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

6. 6

   Cooking Vegetables

   Add the mixed vegetables to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, mixing well with the other ingredients.

7. 7

   Spicing It Up

   Sprinkle in the turmeric powder and salt, stirring well to combine.

8. 8

   Adding Rice and Water

   Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pot. Pour in 2 cups of water, stir gently, and bring it to a boil.

9. 9

   Simmering the Rice

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and all the water is absorbed.
