Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes.
1 ¼ cup basmati rice
Gently clean the rice with water and drain all excess water.
Cook the rice in a pressure cooker with 1 ½ cups of water for every cup of rice.
Place a pan over medium heat and add oil. When the oil heats up, add mustard seeds and urad dal. Saute until it's starting to sizzle.
1 teaspoon mustard seeds, 2 tablespoon coconut oil, 1 tablespoon urad dal
Add dry red chilies and curry leaves and saute for 30 seconds or until they appear crispy.
2 red chilies, 1 strand curry leaves
Add diced garlic cloves and fry until they turn golden brown.
20-25 garlic cloves
Add salt and steamed rice to the spices. Stir well to get an even mixture.

Turn the heat off and let it cool. Steamy Garlic Rice pairs well with a cold drink.
