Ingredients

  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 cups water
  • Salt, to taste

Equipment

Method

  8. Fluff the rice with a fork and remove the cinnamon stick before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water.
  • You can also add vegetables like peas, carrots, or bell peppers to the rice while cooking.
  • If you like your rice spicier, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the spice mixture.
