Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup basmati rice

1 cup diced onion

2 teaspoons canola oil

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

2 cups water

1 1/2 cups peeled and grated carrots

1 teaspoon freshly grated orange peel

3/4 teaspoon salt

 

1. Rinse the rice and soak it in water to cover for 30 minutes.

 

2. When the rice has soaked for about 20 minutes, saute the onions in oil for

about 5 minutes. Add turmeric, cinnamon, and cardamom. Cook, stirring

constantly, for another minute and set aside.

 

3. Bring the 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan with a tight fitting

lid. Stir in the onion mixture, carrots, orange peel and salt. Drain the rice

and add it to the saucepan. Return it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low,

cover and simmer for 15 minutes, until tender.

 

4. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Just before serving,

stir the rice to fluff it.
