Ingredients
4 Servings
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 carrots
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion
- 1 cup peas
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Step 2
In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the diced carrots and cook for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 6
Add the turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Add the cooked rice and frozen peas to the skillet. Mix well to ensure the turmeric evenly coats the rice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Step 8
Serve hot.
