The spices in this dish makes it extra yummy ! =D (i spice it extra much! xD) (my bf didn't agree though, he don't like spices too much so i made rice for him too after but with just bullion and vegetables =p xD)

The recipe i found here on the norwegian meatfree monday site. It says they found it in the book “Worlds best vegetarian dishes” by Linda Fraser, Bladkompaniet AS. I will translate the recipe to english, if you want the norwegian recipe press the link =p I made some changes that i add in cursive, you can also use all frozen vegetables too =)

Ingredients
4-6 portions

• 225 g basmati rice
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (i use just normal cumin spice, not seeds)
• 2 bay leaves (i skip these normally since i don't have)
• 4 green cardamom seeds (i use normal cardamom spice)
• 4 cloves (i use cloves spice)
• 1 nicely chopped onion
• 1 carrot in small pieces
• 50 g frozen peas
• 50 g corn
• 25 g cashew nuts
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin

1. Clean the rice in cold water, have it in a bowl/pan and add water till it covers the rice. Let the rice lay in the water for 30 minutes. (Or skip this part if you are lazy xD)
2. Warm the oil in a pan and fry the cumin seeds for 2 minutes. Add the bay leaves, cardamom and cloves and fry for 2 more minutes. (If you use spice and not seeds, then you can skip this part also)
3. Add onion and fry it till its soft and light brown for about 5 minutes.
4. Add the carrot pieces and fry for 3-4 minutes.
5. Remove the water from the rice and have it in the pan together with peas, corn and nuts. Fry for 4-5 minutes
6. Add 5 dl water, cumin and salt. Cover it and let it simmer for 15 minutes till all the water is gone. Let it stand covered for 10 minutes before serving. (If you aren't hungry and wanna eat it right away =p)

I used frozen vegetables here (American mix) and over-spiced it a little =p Very yummy though! =D
