How to make curry rice

(full recipe is in the recipe card below)

  1. Saute onion in a medium-sized pot until translucent then add ginger, garlic and spices. I like using Garam Masala and Turmeric but you can use any Indian spices you have. Curry powder, Cardamom, Cumin, Coriander, etc. will all work well.
  2. Add the rice and a pinch of salt and stir to coat in the spices then pour in the water or stock. Allow the rice to cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed then stir in the peas (if using). Reduce the heat to its lowest setting, cover the rice and allow to cook for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to steam for 10 minutes.
  3. Season the rice, fluff with a fork and serve.

    Do you cover the rice while it is simmering?
