DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large pan, add oil and spices; temper the spices over medium heat until the cumin crackles.

  2. Quickly add onions, ginger, green chili (optional), and salt. Sauté until onions begin to brown—about 5 minutes.

  3. Add the uncooked rice and continue to sauté until it appears dry and toasted—about 2 minutes more.

  4. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

  5. Stir in the carrots, cauliflower, green beans, and water. Cover and bring to a rapid boil, then reduce heat to low and cook until tender, 5 – 7 minutes.

  6. Once rice is cooked, remove from heat. Fluff with fork, stir in peas and replace lid. Let rice rest another 5 minutes.

  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm. Try this recipe with our Chana Masala!
