Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes until lightly toasted.

Stir in turmeric and salt, then add water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 4
While rice cooks, dice the carrot and zucchini into small cubes. Slice the green onions thinly.
Step 5
After 15 minutes, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
