In my pantry today:
- 2 c leftover Basmati rice
- 3 tbsp minced onion
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp kala jeera
- 1 tbsp ground golden flax seeds
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp asafoetida
I’m making more oven-fried broccoli for lunch. It was, indeed, delicious enough to warrant an immediate do-over, but just broccoli makes for a lonely lunch. What to do?
Fluff up that cold half-pot of rice from the fridge. Put onion and jeera in a cold pan with your butter and crank it to M. Once the butter is melted, reduce heat to L and let sit for as long as you got — I’ll have had about an hour under my belt before I move to the next step:
Go ahead and have your seasonings mixed together in a dainty cup or some such nonsense. Turn the pan back up to M and begin mixing in rice with the seasoning blend. Fluff and stir until everything is warm, the serve under the much esteemed broccoli. Bazow! 5 spoons!
