Vegetable oil is a cost-effective alternative for cooking.

Add onions and garlic to a medium-sized pot with a pinch of oil and sauté for about 2 minutes.

Wash the rice thoroughly before adding it to the pot.

Add the washed rice to the pot and toast it for about 2-3 minutes.

Add hot water to the pot, which helps speed up the cooking process.

Stir the mixture well.

Add one drop of green food coloring (optional) for a green tint.

Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to simmer for about 20 minutes until all the liquid evaporates.

Remove the pot from heat and let it rest with the lid on for about 10 minutes.

Add lime juice and chopped cilantro to the rice and mix gently.
