Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Rinse the rice

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 15 minutes, then drain and set aside.

2
Prepare the vegetables

Finely chop the tomatoes, onion, garlic cloves, and ginger.

3
Sauté the cumin seeds

In a large pot or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté until they start to sizzle and become fragrant, about 30 seconds.

4
Sauté the onion and ginger

Add the chopped onion and ginger to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.

5
Add garlic and spices

Add the minced garlic, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

6
Add tomatoes and cook

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and break down, about 5-7 minutes.

7
Add rice and water

Add the soaked and drained basmati rice to the pot, along with the water. Stir to combine.

8
Cook the rice

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

9
Fluff and serve

Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
