Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons corn oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
3 whole cloves
1 cup long grain rice
4 cups water
1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 cup chopped fresh broccoli
½ cup corn kernels
½ cup fresh green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces
½ carrot, chopped
¼ cup water
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 ½ tablespoons ground black pepper
¼ cup roasted cashews
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat the corn oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and whole cloves. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and begun to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the rice, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add 4 cups of water, salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the broccoli, corn, green beans, carrot, and 1/4 cup water into a microwave-safe bowl. Cover, and cook in the microwave at full power until the vegetables are tender, 2 to 4 minutes depending on the microwave. Once the rice has finished cooking, gently stir the vegetables into the rice along with the turmeric, black pepper, and cashews. Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.

Tips:

  • Use good quality rice: Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine rice, works best for this recipe. It cooks up fluffy and separate, and has a slightly nutty flavor.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: This helps to remove the starch from the rice, which prevents it from becoming sticky.
  • Use a tight-fitting lid on the pot: This helps to trap the steam and cook the rice evenly.
  • Don't stir the rice while it's cooking: Stirring the rice can break the grains and make it mushy.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: This allows the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and fluff up.

Conclusion:

Indian vegetable rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and can be served with a variety of dishes. Whether you are a vegetarian or just looking for a healthy and flavorful rice dish, this recipe is sure to please.
