Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp oil or ghee
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped

  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Yogurt or raita (optional)
