Masala Rice

Entering the kitchen in the summer, or worse, humid monsoons is not something I look forward to. I keep looking for one-dish meals that are quick and easy to make. This rice was a desperate effort to finish with my cooking in 10 minutes...and it worked.

I already had some cooked rice...but it takes just 10 minutes to make it in the microwave if it's not ready.

In a hot saucepan:
4 tbsp oil
1 tsp cumin
2-3 crushed garlic
1 large onion

Once the onion starts to brown slightly, add

1 large chopped tomato and let it cook.

Once the liquid from the tomato had been absorbed, add
1tbsp coriander powder
1 tbsp cumin powder
1 tbsp chilli powder

Cook this for 2 minutes, then add
1 cup of chopped mix vegetables (carrots, peas, beans, cauliflower)

Let it cook for another 3-4 minutes then add 2 cups of cooked rice and seasoning.
Cover and leave for 5 minutes.

Top with some chopped fresh coriander.
