Ingredients:

1 cup basmati rice

1/2 cup frozen peas

1/4 cup diced carrots

1/4 cup diced potatoes

1/4 cup diced onions

2 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee (clarified butter)

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon garam masala

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

Salt to taste

Cooking Instructions:

Soak the basmati rice in water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Heat the oil or ghee in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Then add the onions and sauté until they are lightly browned.

Add the carrots, potatoes, peas, garam masala, turmeric powder and salt to taste. Sauté for a few minutes until all the vegetables are lightly cooked but still crunchy.

Add the drained basmati rice to the pot and mix everything together until it is well combined. Add 1 ½ cups of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed by the rice and vegetables are cooked through.

Turn off the heat and let it sit covered for another 5-10 minutes before serving hot with raita or yogurt on the side! Enjoy!
