Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, and cinnamon. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.

Pour in the water or vegetable broth and add salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Add the drained basmati rice to the pot. Stir gently to combine. Once the liquid returns to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Let the rice rest, covered, off the heat for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
