Cumin Rice Pilaf

Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft.

Add the rice to the saucepan and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes or until the rice starts to lightly brown.

Add the cumin and coriander and mix well. Let cook for 1 minute. Add the water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil then cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let cook for 15 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
