Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 Cup Basmati Rice
  • 2 Cups water
  • 1 Tablespoon Oil (olive oil, canola oil or coconut oil)
  • 1 Teaspoon Brown Mustard Seeds (dark variety)
  • 1 Tablespoon Ginger + Garlic (*see Notes)
  • 1 Teaspoon Turmeric Ground (aka Curcuma spice)
  • to taste Salt
  • pinch Black Pepper

  • Wash the rice and cook until done but not mushy. Basmati rice usually takes about 10-12 minutes to cook on a medium heat setting, follow the package instructions. Strain so that no water is left.
  • In a pan heat up the oil and add the mustard seeds. Temper the mustard seeds – careful mustard seeds jump up – until you get the nutty mustard seed aroma.
  • Add the ginger garlic paste, the turmeric powder, salt, and pepper and stir fry for another minute or two.
  • Take from the heat and let cool for a few minutes before adding and mixing in the lemon juice.
  • Pour the whole mixture over the cooked rice and mix well. Serve hot.
