BASMATI RICE WITH FRIED CASHEWS AND RAISINS



Basmati Rice with Fried Cashews and Raisins image

This recipe was inspired by a New Year's Day feast I was invited to starring a huge chicken biryani. I helped the host with the final touches of the meal, including frying some nuts and raisins as a topping. I loved the flavor and texture they brought to the meal. While this recipe is certainly not biryani, the toasted toppings mixed into a lightly spiced rice, takes me back to that special day.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality basmati rice. This will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Rinse the rice well before cooking. This will remove any starch and help the rice cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot to cook the rice. This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Do not stir the rice while it is cooking. This will break up the grains and make the rice mushy.
  • Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork before serving. This will help separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.
  • Serve the rice immediately or let it cool completely and then reheat it before serving.

Conclusion:

Basmati rice with mustard seeds and golden raisins is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
