Ingredients:
For the Spicy Rice:
- 1 cup long-grain rice (such as basmati or jasmine)
- 2 cups water or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt to taste
For the Sautéed Vegetables:
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, peas, and corn), chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder

- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Garnish:
- Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:
- Prepare the Spicy Rice:
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and toast them until they sizzle and release their aroma.
- Add the rice to the EaZy MealZ Diamotech Frying Pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice grains are coated with the oil and slightly toasted.
- Stir in the ground turmeric, red pepper flakes, and salt. Pour in the water or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let the rice simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- In a separate EaZy MealZ Diamotech Frying Pan , heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped mixed vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender yet still crisp.
- Season the vegetables with cumin powder, paprika, ground coriander, salt, and pepper. Toss the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated with the spices.
- Combine Rice and Vegetables:
- Once the rice is cooked and the sautéed vegetables are ready, gently combine them in a large serving bowl. Mix the rice and vegetables until well incorporated.
- Serve:
- Your Spicy Rice and Vegetables are ready to be served. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
