Notes
1. You can substitute the garam masala with curry powder, or as a last resort, coriander + all spice.
2. Always refer to the rice package instructions for exact water-rice ratios. 1 cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups of water is generally the rule of thumb, but different brands and different types of rices can differ.
3. Fried shallots are store bought and found in the asian section of supermarkets. The salty, crunchy, oily bits are what takes this dish to the next level. Store bought fried shallots are so tasty and it saves so much time (and oil…) rather than frying your own onion.
