Cook and Mix Rice
Start by combining the water, vegetable oil, garlic, vinegar, turmeric, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cover it and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it’s boiling, slowly stir in the rice. Put the lid back on, turn the heat down to low, and let it simmer gently until all the liquid is absorbed, which should take about 20 minutes. When the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Finally, fold in the peas and carrots carefully so everything is mixed without mashing the rice.

Serving Suggestions
Serve alongside grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. It also works well as a base for stir-fries or curries, adding a vibrant touch to your plate. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for added freshness.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water to keep the rice moist. For longer storage, freeze in portions and thaw before reheating.
