Title: Travel

Ingredients:
– 1 cup basmati rice
– 1 ¾ cups water
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 onion, finely diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– ½ teaspoon turmeric
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup frozen peas
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions:
1. Begin by rinsing the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This will remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming too sticky. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika, allowing the spices to toast for a minute to enhance their flavors.
4. Add the basmati rice to the pan, stirring to coat the grains with the aromatic spices.
5. Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
6. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the chickpeas and frozen peas. Allow the mixture to heat through for a few minutes until the peas are cooked.
7. Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
8. Serve the ‘Travel’ dish hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for a vibrant burst of freshness and color.
