Curried Basmati Rice

An excellent side dish with Southeast Asian undertones. I love this with a lot of grilled, Indian and Thai main dishes.

Equipment

  • small pot with lid that fits

Ingredients

  • ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • cups water

Instructions
 

  • Chop up and prep the onion, mushrooms and pepper according to the ingredients list.
    In a large saucepan or small pot, that has a lid to fit, heat oil. Add in the onions, mushrooms and diced pepper. Sauté for a couple minutes.
  • Add in the rice and continue to sauté for a minute or two to toast the rice.
    Add in the curry powder and salt as you sauté.
  • Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Fit the lid on and turn the heat down to low. Let the rice steam for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir through to fluff up the rice.
