Instructions
- Rinse rice under room temperature water until the water runs clear. This should take about 2 to 3 rinses. Completely drain off all water.
- In a medium sized saucepan, heat the oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic, minced ginger, mustard seeds, and red chili. Saute for about 1 minute.
- Add the rice and continue to cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes.
- Carefully place water, turmeric powder, lemon zest, and salt, in saucepan, stir to combine. Make sure the rice sits flat along the bottom, but no rice is sticking to the bottom. Taste for seasoning, add more salt if desired.
- Bring liquid to a boil. Once at a boil, stir the rice, and reduce heat to bring it to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 25 minutes.
- Once cooked, turn off heat and allow the rice to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Mix through the lemon juice. Serve. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
