Garlic Ginger Basmati (Rice Cooker Version)
A savory side dish with a touch of sweetness from the aromatic spices. The nuttiness from the basmati rice is balanced with the pungency of fresh garlic and the zesty warmth of ginger.
This rice is versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes, especially those with Asian or Indian influences. It can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish to complement curries, stir-fries, grilled meats, or vegetables.
