Zucchini Rice

Ingredients:

* 1 cup rice
* 2 cups water
* 1 cup shredded zucchini (with skin)

* Small piece of cinnamon stick about 1/2 inch (dal chini)

Method:

1. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to oil; if the cumin cracks right away oil is ready.

Suggestions:

Melt some cheddar cheese over rice.
