Instructions
- In a medium sized saucepan heat the vegetable oil and then add the finely chopped brown onion. Once soft and lightly brown, add the minced garlic, and rinsed and drained rice and saute for a further 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the turmeric powder, water, coconut milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
