Ingredients

1 cup Basmati rice
1 1/4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
1 onion, chopped
3 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons garam masala

Rinse and soak rice for 30 minutes; drain.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute cumin seeds and cloves for less than 1 minute. Saute the onion, stirring constantly, until brown. Stir in rice and fry for about 1 minute, stirring. Stir in the water, salt, garam masala, chili powder and vegetables.
