Ingredients

• 2 cups Basmati rice
• 3 cups Water
• 1 pinch Saffron threads
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 large, diced Onion
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 medium, diced Carrot
• 1 cup Green peas
• 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set it aside to drain.

Step 2

In a small bowl, soak the saffron threads in 2 tablespoons of warm water. Let it steep while you prep the other ingredients.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced carrot, green peas, and red bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Step 7

Stir in the ground cumin, turmeric, and salt. Mix well to coat the vegetables with the spices.

Step 8

Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan, stirring gently to combine it with the vegetables and spices.

Step 9

Pour in the 3 cups of water and the prepared saffron infusion (including the threads). Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 10

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 11

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 12

Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
