INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger root, minced

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover with lid, and allow to steam until tender, about 20 minutes.

When rice is done, add it to skillet and stir gently to combine with other ingredients. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
