Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium Potatoes peeled and diced

Cooking Steps

  • Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, then add chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent; add diced potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the rinsed basmati rice, ensuring it is well coated with the oil and onion-potato mixture, and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth, then add salt and black pepper; bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
  • Remove the pot from heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork and serving hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add some garlic or ginger along with the onions in the first step. A pinch of turmeric can also be added for color and a subtle earthy taste. This dish pairs well with a side of yogurt or a fresh salad.
