Main Ingredients

Optional Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the long-grain rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    If using optional ingredients, dice the onion, red bell pepper, and carrots. Mince the garlic. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 4

    Add Rice and Turmeric

    Stir in the rinsed rice and turmeric powder, mixing well to coat the rice with the oil and vegetables. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Water and Salt

    Pour in the water and add the salt. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.

  5. 7

    Add Peas

    If using green peas, add them during the last 5 minutes of cooking to heat through.

  6. 8

    Fluff and Serve

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