Spicy Tomato Rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

3. 3

   Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.

4. 4

   Add the chopped tomatoes and red chillies to the pot. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the oil starts to separate.

5. 5

   Stir in the biryani masala, turmeric, and salt. Cook for another minute to let the spices release their aroma.

6. 6

   Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir well to coat the rice with the spice mixture.

7. 7

   Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.

8. 8

   Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
