👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
- 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the diced carrots and green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 5
Add the rinsed basmati rice to the pot. Stir well to coat each grain of rice with oil and vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to lightly toast the rice.
- 6
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and cinnamon powders. Cook for another minute until the spices are fragrant.
- 7
Pour in the vegetable broth and add salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- 8
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Do not lift the lid during this time.
- 9
Once cooked, let the rice stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes off the heat. Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Stir in the peas (if using frozen, they will thaw from the residual heat).
- 10
Garnish with toasted slivered almonds, if desired. Serve hot.
