Onion Rice

Sometimes we have leftover plain rice and we do not know what to do with it.
Onion rice is the easiest and fastest way to use this rice and make a fresh new dish out of it.

Ofcourse you can use freshly steamed rice as well.. ;) not necessarily the leftover.

• Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
• Garam Masala - 1/4 tsp
• Oil - 2 tbsp
