- Cook Time: 40 minutes
- Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1 medium-size onion, diced
- 1 medium-size Russet potato, diced
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup basmati or long-grain rice
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Procedures
- In a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, heat oil; add onion and potato. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add water, rice, salt, cumin seeds, and turmeric; over high heat, heat to boiling.
- Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 20 minutes, or until rice and potatoes are tender. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in chickpeas.

long-grain rice.
