Savory Onion Rice Delight

1Peel and thinly slice the onions (4).

2In a large skillet, melt the butter (1 tablespoon) over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds (1 teaspoon) and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

4Meanwhile, rinse the rice (2 cups) under cold water until the water runs clear.

5Add the rinsed rice (2 cups) to the skillet with the caramelized onions (4). Stir well to coat the rice (2 cups) with the flavors.

6Sprinkle turmeric powder (1 teaspoon), cayenne pepper (1 teaspoon), and salt over the rice (2 cups) and onions (4). Mix thoroughly.

7Pour in 4 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil.

8Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the rice (2 cups) simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice (2 cups) is cooked through and fluffy.

9Once the rice (2 cups) is cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve hot.
