Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 cups basmati rice

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 1 onion, minced

  • 1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh ginger

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

  • 1 teaspoon ground fenugreek

  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 cup frozen peas

  • 1 carrot, minced

  • ½ cup minced green beans

  • ½ cup minced cauliflower

  • 3 ½ cups vegetable broth

  • ½ cup chopped cilantro

Directions

  1. Rinse and drain rice 3 times. Place rice in a bowl and pour in enough water to cover; set aside to soak.

  2. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, ginger, cumin seeds, fenugreek, and turmeric until onion just begins to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and continue to cook and stir until onions are browned, 5 to 10 minutes more.

  3. Drain rice and mix into onion mixture; cook and stir until rice is dry and lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Stir peas, carrot, green beans, and cauliflower into rice mixture; pour in broth. Cover saucepan and bring liquid to a rapid boil; reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is tender, 12 to 15 minutes.

  4. Remove saucepan from heat and fluff rice with a fork. Stir cilantro into rice, return lid, and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Chicken broth can be used in place of the vegetable broth, if desired.
