Ingredients
- 2 Cups water
- 1 Cup white rice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 Tbls butter or olive oil
- 1/8 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 3/4 Cup frozen peas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook your rice as you would normally. When it is done cooking, take off the heat and remove the lid to let the excess steam escape.
- Put a skillet on medium heat on stove top. Add the butter or olive oil to the pan and let get hot for about 10 seconds. Add the minced garlic and cook for a few seconds until aromatic but not browned.
- Add the rice to the pan and toss to coat in the oil. Let the rice fry in the oil for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Add the spices and mix thoroughly.
- Add the peas before serving. You just want them to be warmed through since they are already cooked.
- Taste to adjust seasoning adding more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve and enjoy!
