Coriander/Cilantro Rice

Whenever I make a curry this is the rice I serve with it and it is always a winner. The recipe below is for one cup of rice which will be enough for two people. You can just adjust the recipe if you need to make a bigger amount.

You will need:
1. One cup of rice ( I use long grain rice or you may use basmati)
2. Half a white onion finely chopped
3. A handful of coriander/cilantro finely chopped.
4. Salt

1. I would advise to cook your rice well before you start to make the coriander rice so that the rice will be cool because if you make it with warm rice the rice will become mushy :/. You may even use leftover white rice if you have. If I know that I am going to make this rice for supper and I don't have leftover rice then I will cook the rice the morning already.
2. Braise the onion in sunflower oil till nice and brown but not burnt. ( You may add a teaspoon of butter for extra flavour)
3. Add the chopped coriander and stir through then add about a half teaspoon of salt and stir through.
4. Add your cooled cooked rice and stir through until the rice is fully combined with the onion and coriander mixture.
5. Taste your rice to see if it has enough salt.
6. Serve
