  • 2 tablespoons minced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Next, heat a moderate amount of oil in a cooking vessel over an intermediate temperature. Sauté the onion in the oil for approximately one minute, stirring occasionally. Introduce the minced garlic into the pan and continue cooking until it reaches a golden hue. Add the rice to the saucepan, along with a pinch of salt, and stir constantly until the rice starts to develop a nutty flavor. Introduce hot water into the mixture, stirring gently to distribute it evenly. Gradually decrease the heat to a low setting, cover the saucepan with a lid, and allow it to gently simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the water has been fully absorbed.
