Just saw this in "everyday food" and had to share! In this case, I would use the oil, because it seems like it'll make a difference in the texture of the finished dish, but it's totally up to you. 
1 tablespoon canola or olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 large carrot, shredded
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 cup basmati rice
1 3/4 cups water
3/4 tsp coarse salt
In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is very tender, 15-20 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, cook 2 minutes.
Add rice, stirring to coat. Add water and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 17-20 minutes. (Add more water if the pan gets dry.) Serves 4.
