Basmati Garlic Rice

I've always wanted to try out basmati rice but I've only seen 5kg packs in supermarkets in Singapore and they're so so expensive! A 5kg pack is also way too much for me. Was so happy when I saw a 1kg pack of basmati on sale in Jusco, it was only RM6.99!!! I immediately grabbed a pack and started to look for appropriate recipes to try.

I decided to try this recipe as I'm an absolute lover of anything with garlic and onion and this recipe has both! The resultant rice was so fragrant that I can eat it on its own without any side dish! I heart this basmatic garlic rice!

Ingredients

1 cup basmati rice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion, diced

l large carrot, shredded

2 garlic cloves, minced (I increased to 4 cloves)

1 tbsp ginger, minced

3/4 tsp salt

2 cups water
