I highly recommend a rice cooker; I love mine. Plus, it makes this really easy to make. You basically throw it all in the cooker. This recipe is originally from the Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites.
Golden Basmati Rice
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 cups white basmati rice
3 cups water
1 cup diced onion
2 tsp canola or other vegetable oil
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1 1/2 cups peeled and grated carrots
1 tsp grated orange peel
3/4 tsp salt
Saute the onion in the oil for about 5 minutes. Add the turmeric, cinnamon, and cardamom. Cook, stirring constantly for another minute and set aside.
Add onion mixture, carrots, orange peel, and salt to your rice cooker.
Then add your rice and water. And cook as normal.
Serve with other delicious Indian food.
