Rinse 2 cups of basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

In a large pot, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and 2 bay leaves, cooking until fragrant for about 1 minute.

Stir in 1 sliced large onion and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon of minced ginger and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute.

Mix in 1 cup of chopped mixed vegetables and 2 diced medium potatoes, sautéing for 3-4 minutes.

Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, and 1 teaspoon of salt, stirring to combine.

Add the soaked and drained rice to the pot, gently mixing to coat with the spices.

Pour in 4 cups of water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.

Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
