Ingredients

• 2 cups basmati rice

• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Start by rinsing the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. In a large pot, sauté the chopped onions and garlic in olive oil until they are soft and translucent.
