Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  4. Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir well to coat the rice with the garlic and turmeric mixture.
