Sabzi Pilau (Rice with Vegetables)

I am not a huge rice fan. Lets just get that out there. And I did not follow the instructions to use long-grain, as I had plenty of short-grain rice on hard.

But this was so easy and delicious! You sautee onions, garlic, add the rice, and then water. You also add some garum masala. Then after its cooked a while, you add an array of finely diced vegetables. At the end, as an option, you add fried almonds and sultanas (raisins). We skipped the almonds, but used all the other ingredients.

This rice has a surprisingly flavorful taste, especially when considering that no broth was used.
