Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, vegetable oil, garlic, vinegar, turmeric, and salt. Cover the pot and bring everything to a boil. Once it’s boiling, slowly stir in the rice. Put the lid back on, turn the heat down to low, and let it simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, which should take about 20 minutes. When the rice is done, transfer it to a large bowl. Gently fold in the peas and carrots, being careful not to mash them. Give it a final stir, and it’s ready to enjoy!
Serving Advice
Serve this rice alongside grilled vegetables or your favorite protein like chicken or fish. It also pairs well with a fresh green salad or a tangy yogurt sauce to balance the flavors and add a refreshing touch.
Storing This Dish
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water to bring back moisture and fluffiness. Avoid freezing as it may change the texture of the rice.
