Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 20 minutes, then drain.

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté until they begin to crackle.

3. 3

   Add the sliced onion to the pan and sauté until golden brown.

4. 4

   Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove the pan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
