Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup basmati rice
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock or water
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt
2 tablespoon ghee, coconut oil or olive oil
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
1/4 cup peanuts or broken cashew nuts
1 tablespoon split white urad dal
1/2 teaspoon asafetida
1/2 teaspoon crushed red chiles
10 to 15 fresh curry leaves (see Cook's Note)
1 lemon, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • Wash the rice in cold water until the water is no longer cloudy, 3 or 4 times, then drain. This step is important as it removes the starch from the rice and prevents it from clumping up.
  • Heat the stock or water in a heavy pan with a tight-fitting lid. Add the turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the drained rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Do not disturb the rice or take a peek while it's in the middle of cooking. Turn off the heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the ghee or oil in a pan large enough to fit the rice over medium-high heat. Add the mustard seeds and let sizzle until you hear popping sounds, about 30 seconds. Add the nuts and cook until golden brown and crunchy, about 2 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and add the urad dal, asafetida, crushed red chiles and curry leaves. Be careful as the curry leaves might sputter. Cook until the urad dal turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Gently mix in the cooked rice.
  • Remove from the heat and add the lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Taste and add more salt and lemon juice if needed.

SAVOURY RICE



Savoury Rice image

Quick and simple savoury rice.

Provided by laurenswan

Time 40m

Yield Serves 3

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 onion
3 mushrooms
1/2 red pepper
1 tomato
1 x 10ml spoon oil
150g long grain rice
1 x 5ml spoon vegetable stock powder or cube
550ml boiling water
50g peas
1 x 10ml spoon curry powder
Chopping board
Knife
Sauce pan
Wooden Spoon
Measuring Spoon
Weighing Scales
Kettle
Measuring Jug

Steps:

  • Prepare the vegetables:
  • 1. Peel and chop the onion
  • 2. Slice the mushrooms
  • 3. Deseed and dice the red pepper
  • 4. Chop the tomato
  • Fry the onion in oil until soft.
  • Add the mushrooms and red pepper and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the rice.
  • Mix the stock powder with the water.
  • Add the stock, peas and curry powder to the rice mixture.
  • Simmer for 15 minutes, until the rice is tender.
  • Serve the rice in a bowl and sprinkle the chopped tomato on top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your yellow savoury rice will taste. Use long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine rice, for the best results.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: Rinsing the rice removes the starch and helps to prevent the rice from clumping together.
  • Use the correct ratio of rice to water: The general rule of thumb is 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. However, you may need to adjust the amount of water depending on the type of rice you are using.
  • Cook the rice over low heat: Cooking the rice over low heat helps to prevent the rice from burning and sticking to the pot.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: Fluffing the rice with a fork helps to separate the grains and makes the rice light and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Yellow savoury rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect yellow savoury rice every time.
