Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup uncooked long-grain (white) basmati rice (recommended: Texmati)

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced fresh curly parsley leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh scallions, white and green parts
Pinch freshly ground black pepper

  • Combine the rice, 1 3/4 cups water, the salt, and butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup basmati rice*
1 Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apple, peeled, cored, chopped
1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
1 cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 1/4 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
*Available at Indian markets and some supermarkets nationwide.

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Stir in rice, apple, apricots, cinnamon stick, ginger, curry powder and salt. Add 2 cups water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 18 minutes. Remove from heat. Season to taste with pepper and additional salt, if desired. Transfer pilaf to bowl. Sprinkle with almonds and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality basmati rice for the best flavor and texture.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch and impurities.
  • Toast the rice in a little bit of oil or ghee before adding the water or broth. This will help to bring out the flavor of the rice.
  • Use a flavorful broth or stock instead of water for cooking the rice. This will add extra flavor and depth to the dish.
  • Add a variety of herbs, spices, and vegetables to the rice for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Cook the rice until it is tender and fluffy, but not mushy. The rice should be cooked through, but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving to separate the grains and make it light and airy.
  • Serve the rice hot or warm with your favorite curry or other dishes.

Conclusion:

Curried and herbed basmati rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of curries, stews, and other dishes. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its fragrant aroma and flavorful taste, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
