Seasoned Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Start by rinsing the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming sticky.

2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   In a medium pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add Spices

   Add the salt, black pepper, turmeric powder, and cumin seeds to the pot. Stir well to combine and allow the spices to toast for about 1 minute.

4. 4

   Cook the Rice

   Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir to coat the rice with the oil and spices. Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.

5. 5

   Fluff and Garnish

   Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the chopped cilantro before serving.
