This is great. Yellow, tasty, fluffy. Perfect as an accompaniment to any vegetarian curry.
I adapted the recipe slightly from here.
Turmeric rice
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tsp mustard seeds
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 10 kaffir lime leaves (optional)
- 700g jasmine rice, soaked for an hour and washed
- 2 tsp chicken stock powder
Instructions
- Use a heavy-based saucepan with a lid. Heat the oil in the pan and add the mustard seeds.
- Once the seeds start popping, add the turmeric, kaffir lime leaves (if using) and rice, and mix well.
- Add the chicken stock and 1 litre of water. Bring to the boil, then turn down to the lowest simmer and cook, covered, for 5 mins. Remove from the heat, with the lid on and leave to steam for 25 mins.
