Method
Cook the Rice
- 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.
- Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Prepare the Vegetables
- While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil on the Blackstone griddle over medium heat.
- Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Then add diced onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
- 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
- In serving bowls, layer the spiced rice, followed by the sautéed vegetables.
- Top with diced cucumber, a dollop of yogurt, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
