Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups basmati rice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion (optional)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken stock

Directions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan with an available cover.
  2. Stir in the onion over medium heat until softened, 3-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the rice until it just starts to turn colour, 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cumin, chilli powder, turmeric and salt.
  5. Pour in the chicken stock, stir once, turn the heat to medium-low and cover for 15 minutes or until the water is just absorbed. Leave the rice undisturbed until told otherwise!
  6. Set the burner to ultra-ultra low for an additional 15 minutes, just high enough to keep the rice hot. Cycle the burner, buy a better pan, do what it takes to keep the rice hot but not cooking.
  7. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
