Brown Kalijira Rice Pilaf

In a 1 quart sauce pan heat the oil over medium flame, add onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes, making sure not to color. Stir in rice and coat with oil until rice is hot. Stir in water, add salt and bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat and simmer over low heat for 25 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes before fluffing and serve.

If made in a rice cooker, sauté onions in the oil directly in the rice cooker. When onions are translucent stir in the rice and coat with oil. Pour in the water, cover and let the rice cooker do the rest.
