I use a long grain rice for this recipe. I love Basmati because it doesn’t get gummy, stays flaky. I buy the burlap bags of basmati from Sams Club. Here’s a link for it : https://www.samsclub.com/p/royal-basmati-rice-20-lbs/131053.

  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  • Add the oil to a saucepan. When heated add the rice and cook until the rice has browned a little.
  • Add the garlic and cook about a minute stirring to prevent it from burning.
