Ingredients

🍚 2 cups of basmati rice
🫒 4 tablespoons of olive oil
🍲 1 tablespoon vegeta (vegetable seasoning)
🌿 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
🌿 1/2 teaspoon cumin
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
💧 2 cups of hot water

Instructions

1- Prep the Rice:

• Wash the basmati rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch for fluffier rice.
• Soak the rice in warm water for about 20 minutes to allow it to expand slightly.

2- Heat the Oil:

• Place a pot on the stove and turn the heat to high.
• Add the olive oil and wait until it gets hot.

3- Cook the Rice:

• Drain the soaked rice and add it to the hot pot.
• Add the vegeta, turmeric, cumin, and salt.
• Stir well to ensure each grain is coated with the fragrant spices.

4- Boil and Simmer:

• Pour in the 2 cups of hot water.
• Stir the mixture again, cover the pot, and let it cook on high for about 5 minutes, just until the water reduces significantly.

5- Steam to Fluffiness:

• Reduce the heat to very low, allowing the rice to cook gently for another 15 minutes.

6- Serve:

• Once cooked, fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains.
