Servings

• 1.5 cup Basmati Rice
• 10 sprigs Curry Leaves
• 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds

• 2 tablespoon Cashew Nuts
• 2 chopped Green Chilies
• 1 inch piece finely chopped Ginger
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Turmeric Powder

Instructions

1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 15 minutes.
