List of Ingredients

2 cup(s) basmati rice
2 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 cup(s) vegetable oil
1 teaspoon(s) brown (or yellow) mustard seeds
3/4 cup(s) chopped cashews

1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon(s) finely chopped green chili (such as Thai)
2 teaspoon(s) (3-pound) finely chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 cup(s) plain whole-milk yogurt





Recipe


Rinse the rice in a bowl with cold water. Drain and repeat until the water is no longer cloudy. Drain completely. Add the rice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups water to a 2-quart saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Fluff with a fork.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mustard seeds and cook for 30 seconds. Add the cashews and cook until lightly browned, about 20 seconds. Add the onion, peppers, ginger, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Toss rice with the onion mixture and the yogurt.
