Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup long-grain rice
1/4 cup slices almonds, toasted golden
2 tablespoons dark raisins
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves (wash and dry before chopping)

Steps:

  • In a small heavy saucepan bring water to a boil. Add salt and rice and cook, covered, over low heat 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in almonds, raisins, and butter and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use basmati rice. It is a long-grain rice that cooks up light and fluffy, and it has a slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with the spices in the curry.
  • Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any starch that could make the rice gummy.
  • Toast the spices before adding them to the rice. This will bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic.
  • Use a good-quality curry powder. The curry powder is the key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use one that you like the taste of.
  • Add the raisins, apricots, and almonds to the rice after it has been cooked. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Serve the curried rice with plain yogurt or raita. This will help to cool down the spiciness of the curry.

Conclusion:

Curried rice with raisins, apricots, and almonds is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. The curry powder, raisins, apricots, and almonds add a delicious flavor and texture to the rice. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
