Yellow Rice

My husband makes rice often. I prefer flavored rice. I try to get him to buy the yellow rice in the packages but he would rather have white rice. I figured I would try to make some yellow rice to see how it comes out. This yellow rice had a nice flavor. Since it is very easy, I will probably make it from now on then to buy the package. Plus I control the ingredients and it uses up some spices I actually don't use often.

Yellow Rice
2 tsp vegetable oil 
2 Tbsp shallots, chopped fine
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cup Jasmine rice
