Masala Rice

A simple veggie rice with garam masala.

Prep Time: 10 Mins | Cook Time: 15 Mins | Total Time: 25 Mins | Serves: 2

Ingredients

1 Cup Rice, preferably Basmati rice
1 teaspoon Oil
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon Butter or oil
½ teaspoon Cumin seeds
1 Medium sized Onion, finely chopped
1-2 Medium sized tomatoes, finely chopped
2 Cups finely diced vegetables (carrot, peas, beans etc.)
¼ teaspoon Turmeric powder
¼ teaspoon Red Chili powder
1 tablespoon Garam Masala powder
Salt to taste
Few finely chopped coriander for garnishing

Instructions

Pressure cook the rice with little oil and salt. Let it cool and then fluff it up with a fork to separate grains.
Heat butter or oil in a pan. Once it is hot, add the chopped onions and sauté until it turns golden brown.
Then add the diced tomatoes and other veggies. Sprinkle some water and let it cook.
Once soft and tender; add the peas (if frozen); stir them quick. Then add the spice mixes and salt and mix well.
Finally add the cooked rice. Mix them well. Check for the spice and seasonings; adjust if needed.
Turn off the flame. Add coriander leaves for garnishing.

Notes

The tomato is added for little sourness. So add one or two depending on how tart the tomato is.
