Cook rice in the boiling water with 2 tsp turmeric until all water is absorbed and rice is fluffy- about 30 minutes. Cook onions gently in 2 tablespoons olive oil until translucent. Add the peppers, garlic, basil, turmeric, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add tomatoes and simmer for 30 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and heat through.
