Heat some oil (I used peanut oil) and throw in a small handful of mustard seeds and a lesser quantity of cumin seeds. Put in more mustard seeds than you think you need - they are mild and good. After a couple of minutes add a bunch of garam masala, turmeric, and a couple of fresh or dried chili peppers.
Spices (from top left): cumin seeds, garam masala, turmeric, mustard seeds, dried chili peppers.
Add a decent handful of minced or grated ginger, some finely chopped shallots or onions, minced hot peppers, and some diced bell peppers. I also added some dried curry leaves.
Sauté for a few minutes then throw in a couple of handfuls of basmati rice. Stir until translucent and add some broth or water (enough to cover you rice + a bit more). Add two cans of coconut milk and simmer until the rice is tender.
