Step 1

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the cumin seeds. Once they start to sizzle, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes over a medium heat until softened. Add the beans and cook for a couple of minutes. Stir in the salt and remaining spices and cook for a few seconds then add the rice and water.

Step 2

Bring to a boil, cover (either with a lid or kitchen foil) and cook over a low heat for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender, stirring occasionally. Add the chopped herbs after the rice has been cooking for 10 minutes. Add more water, if needed, until the rice is cooked. Stir the rice and serve topped with the reserved herbs.
