Notes

  • Variations:
  • Stove top: Soak the white basmati rice for 20 mins then drain and add to a saucepan with the rest of the ingredients. Add in 1.5 cups of water instead of 1 cup. Partially cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Then reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15 to 17 minutes. 
  • Add in a 1/4 cup of chopped onion along with the rest of the ingredients.
  • To make this with brown rice, pressure cook for 20 minutes.
  • Add in 15 oz of cooked black beans or chickpeas with the rice for a full meal. Add more chili powder and a bit more salt 
  • This recipe is easily doubled. Double everything, use a few tbsp less water, pressure cook time remains the same.
