Instructions

Wash the basmati rice thoroughly until the water runs clear.
In a pot, heat ghee (or coconut oil) over medium heat.
Add turmeric powder, cumin powder, and asafoetida. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the washed rice and salt. Stir well to coat the rice with the spices.
Pour in the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
Let the rice sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
