Ingredients:

• 1 cup basmati rice
• 1/4 cup vermicelli pasta
• 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
• 2 cups water or chicken broth
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Rinse the Rice: Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
2. Toast the Vermicelli: In a medium pot, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the vermicelli pasta and sauté, stirring frequently, until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
3. Add Rice: Stir in the rinsed rice and cook for another minute, coating the rice in the butter and toasting lightly.
4. Add Water/Broth: Pour in the water or broth, season with salt, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and all the liquid is absorbed.
5. Fluff and Serve: Remove from heat, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve warm.

Perfect with grilled meats, stews, or curries!
