Ingredients

• ✓ vegetable oil
• onion
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Heat oil in a small saucepan placed over medium-low heat. A slice of onion should just sizzle a bit when added to hot oil. Add 1/2 of onions and cook, occasionally stirring, until onions are a deep golden brown, about 7-10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, and salt to taste. Onions will be soft at first and will crisp as they cool. Repeat with remaining onions.

Ingredients

• ✓ vegetable oil
• cumin seed
• jasmine rice
• water
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Heat the oil in a medium size saucepan over a medium-high heat. Drop in the cumin seeds, and cook until they splutter. Do not allow the cumin seeds to burn or become really dark brown in color. Add the rice and fry it in the oil for about 1 minute.
2. 2 Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the rice for approximately 15 minutes. If you feel the rice is getting burnt near the base of the pan as it cooks, one trick is to place the saucepan on another flat pan or griddle which is directly on the flame. Toss with a fork.
