3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 green chili, finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chili powder
Salt to taste
2 tbsp oil

Instructions

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and green chili. Saute until the onions turn golden brown.
Add the grated carrot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
