1
In a large non-stick saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2
Sauté the finely chopped onion in the heated oil until it turns golden brown.
3
Stir in the ground turmeric, minced garlic, and ground cumin. Mix well to let the onions absorb the spices.
4
Add the diced potatoes into the saucepan and cook for about 10 minutes until they start to soften.
5
Stir in the finely diced tomatoes, salt, and cayenne pepper, combining well with the other ingredients.
6
Add the washed and drained basmati rice to the mixture, then pour in the water.
7
Increase heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
8
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the pot and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
9
Check the texture of the rice. If needed, simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
10
Place a clean kitchen towel between the pot and the lid, securing the ends of the towel on top of the lid. This will allow the rice to steam properly.
11
Continue to steam the rice on low heat for 10 minutes until fully cooked.
12
Serve warm as is or with a side of yogurt or fresh herbs if desired.
