Description
Introducing this easy spicy rice that’s the perfect side dish to jazz up any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup white rice
- 6 cardamom pods
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Start by adding the rice into a medium pot. Rinse your rice until the water runs clear; I typically wash it 4-5 times.
- Next, mash the cardamom pods in a mortar and pestle until the pods open and the “seeds” are crushed into a grainy-powder. Add the cardamom pods (skin and seeds) into the pot, along with the rest of the ingredients.
- Heat the pot on high heat and stir to mix. Once the rice is boiling, lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pot partially with a lid. Let the rice continue to cook for 10 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Once the rice is done, remove from the heat and let the rice sit (with the lid on) for an additional 10 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
