Vegetable Rice

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups basmati or jasmine rice
  (or any long grain rice)
• 2 3/4 cups water
• 1/2 cup green beans, cut into thin 1-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup onions, cut into thin 1-inch pieces (optional)
  
• 1/2 cup carrots, cut into thin 1-inch pieces
• 1/2-inch piece ginger, grated
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp
• 1/2 tsp red chilli powder (adjust to taste)
• 3-4 tsp vegetable oil
• 3-4 mint leaves for garnish
• Salt to taste

Preparation

1. Soak basmati or jasmine rice for 10 minutes in about 1/2 cup water for 10 minutes. Drain the rice in a strainer.
   
   
2. In a rice cooker, add the rice along with 3 1/4 cups of water and cook.
   
   
3. Heat oil in a medium skillet, and add cumin and mustard seeds. As the seeds start to pop, add the turmeric powder, ginger, onions, and other vegetables along with some salt.
   
   
4. Sprinkle some water and cover and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender.
   
   
5. Add the red chilli powder and garam masala, and saute for a couple more minutes.
   
   
6. Add the cooked rice to the vegetables, mixing gently to avoid breaking the rice. Saute for 2 minutes on low heat. Turn off the heat, and cover and let sit until ready to serve.
   
   
7. Garnish the vegetable rice with chopped mint leaves, and serve with plain yogurt, pickles, and pappadums.
