Instructions:
-
Begin by heating oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the yellow mustard seeds, cloves, salt, turmeric, ginger, and ground ginger to the skillet. Cook, stirring often until the mustard seeds begin to pop, which usually takes around 2 minutes.
-
Next, incorporate the garlic into the skillet and continue cooking for another minute, ensuring all the spices are well combined.
-
Now, add the brown basmati rice, brown rice, wild rice, and amaranth to the skillet. Stir everything together, allowing the grains to toast slightly and absorb the flavors of the spices. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally.
-
Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, bring water to a boil.
-
Once the grains are nicely toasted, carefully transfer the mixture from the skillet into the saucepan with the boiling water. Be cautious as the water may splatter.
-
Allow the pot to return to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer gently. Cook for approximately 30 to 40 minutes or until all the water is absorbed, and the grains are tender.
-
Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot alongside your favorite accompaniments.
