How to Prepare Aromatic Dill and Tomato Rice [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Heat oil in a medium sauce pan. Add the spices and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  2. Add the onions, green chilies and ginger+garlic paste; cook till the onions are lightly browned around the edges.
  3. Next add the chopped dill, mint, tomatoes, ground coriander and cumin, red chili powder, garam masala and salt. Mix well, cover and cook till the tomatoes turn mushy, about 3~5 minutes.
  4. Add the green pepper slices and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the drained rice and cook on medium-high until the water on the surface dries up.
  5. Lower the heat, cover and cook until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and set aside for 10 minutes. Serve with cucumber raita (yogurt, grated cucumber, salt and red chili powder) and enjoy!!
