Peanut and Cashew Rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, add 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Add the rinsed rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

3. 3

   While the rice is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4. 4

   Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent and starts to brown.

5. 5

   Add the peanuts and cashews to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until they are lightly toasted.

6. 6

   Stir in the sliced green chillies and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

7. 7

   Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed mixture.

8. 8

   Gently mix everything together, ensuring the rice is well coated with the oil and the nuts are evenly distributed.

9. 9

   Serve the Peanut and Cashew Rice warm as a side dish or a light main course.
