Instructions

1
Heat coconut oil in a large pan. Add the cumin and mustard seeds and fry over medium heat until they start to crackle slightly and release their aroma.
2
Add the sliced onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and lightly golden brown.
3
Add the carrot and peas to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften slightly but still hold their shape.
4
Add the turmeric, garam masala, and chili. Stir quickly so the spices evenly coat the vegetables and develop their full aroma.
5
Add the cooked rice. Fry over high heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice turns evenly golden yellow and is well heated through.
6
Taste and season with additional salt if needed. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and cashew nuts before serving.
