Ingredients
  

Rice and Spices
  • 2 cups Basmati rice rinsed and drained
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste

  • 1 cup carrot diced
  • 1 cup peas frozen or fresh
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch ginger grated
Toppings
  • 1 cup cucumber diced
  • 1 cup yogurt plain or flavored
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped

Method
 

Cook the Rice
  1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the rinsed basmati rice and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
  2. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Prepare the Vegetables
  1. While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil on the Blackstone griddle over medium heat.
  2. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Then add diced onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add bell pepper, carrot, and peas. Stir in coriander powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Assemble the Bowls
  1. In serving bowls, layer the spiced rice, followed by the sautéed vegetables.
  2. Top with diced cucumber, a dollop of yogurt, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
