South African Yellow Rice image

This is a traditional South African recipe, which comes from the great culinary tradition of the Cape Malays -- originally brought in as slaves in the 17th century. It's easy and plain, but great with meats like venison, corned beef tongue or any meat with gravy. Also usually served with Bobotie: There is a good recipe by Caryn on this site.

This rice is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have some leftover rice in the fridge and this is a great way to use it up.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my rice turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much water.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some cooked brown rice in the fridge and I decided to try this recipe. It turned out great! The rice was flavorful and the toppings added a nice crunch.
