Ingredients
- 200 g Basmati Rice
- 500 ml Water
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Coriander
Instructions
- Rinse the Basmati Rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the Olive Oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped Onion and minced Garlic to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the Onion is translucent.
- Stir in the Ground Turmeric, Salt, and freshly ground Black Pepper, cooking for another minute to release the flavours.
- Add the rinsed Rice to the pan, stirring to coat the grains with the spice mixture.
- Pour in the Water and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the Rice is tender and the Water has been absorbed.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the Rice to steam and become fluffy.
- Fluff the Rice with a fork and garnish with freshly chopped Coriander, if using.
