Zubereitung von Spiced Basmati
- Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for fluffy rice.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and 1/2 teaspoon of mustard seeds and sauté until they begin to pop (about 30 seconds).
- Add 1 small finely chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 inch piece of ginger (grated), 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.
- Stir in the rinsed basmati rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
- Serve hot with your favorite protein and enjoy!
