Tips:
- Use high-quality rice. This will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for a variety that is specifically designed for pilaf, such as basmati or jasmine rice.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any starch that could make the rice gummy.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
- Toast the rice before cooking. This will help to bring out its flavor and give it a slightly nutty taste.
- Use the right amount of water. The general rule is to use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Reduce the heat to low once the rice is boiling. Simmer the rice for 18-20 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains of rice and make it light and fluffy.

Rice with raisins and cinnamon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course. With its sweet and savory flavor, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
