Ingredients

• 1 cup basmati rice

• 1 small bell pepper, diced
• 1 small tomato, diced
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• 2 cups water
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

1. Wash the basmati rice under running water until the water runs clear. This will help remove excess starch.
