Preparation

Cooking the Rice

1. Rinse the Rice

Place the basmati rice in a sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

2. Boil the Water

In a medium pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt and 2 tbs of olive oil.

3. Cook the Rice

Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed basmati rice. Stir once, cover the pot, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed.

4. Fluff the Rice

Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Preparing the Vegetables

5. Chop the Vegetables

Dice the onion, garlic, bell pepper, carrot, and prepare peas if using fresh.

6. Sauté the Onion and Garlic

In a large skillet, heat 2 tbs of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

7. Add Remaining Vegetables

Add the diced bell pepper and carrot to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

8. Add Peas

Stir in the peas and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Seasoning the Dish

9. Add Spices

Sprinkle cumin powder, turmeric powder, black pepper, and garam masala over the cooked vegetables. Stir well to combine and let the spices cook for another minute.

10. Combine with Rice

Gently fold the cooked rice into the vegetable mixture, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.

11. Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a main dish or side.
