Cumin Fried Rice

Ingredients:

Rice - 1 cup

Water - 2 cups

Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp

Ghee/Clarified butter - 1/2 tbsp

Oil - 1/tbsp

A pan for cooking

Method:

Soak rice in water for 10 minutes. Gently rinse a few times to remove excess starch. Drain water and keep aside.

Add ghee and oil to pan and heat it on the hob. When oil is hot add cumin seeds and fry for 10 seconds until light brown in colour or until you can smell the earthy aroma. Add drained rice, water and salt. Bring it to boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until water has been absorbed by rice and has ‘al dente’ appearance. Cover with a lid and let it rest for 10 minutes. Loosen the rice with a fork and serve hot.
