👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside to drain.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the 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 ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, and cinnamon. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
5
Add the diced carrots, potato, green bell pepper, and tomato to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
6
Pour in the water or vegetable broth and add salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.
7
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.
8
Let the rice rest, covered, off the heat for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
