Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup basmati rice (or other long grain rice)
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh gingerroot, finely minced
1/4 cup dried apricot, chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/16 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons peanuts, coarsely chopped, dry roasted, unslated

Steps:

  • Wash the rice and soak if desired. If you are using a rice other than basmati, skip this step.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and celery. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute.
  • Add ginger root. Continue to cook 2 minutes more.
  • Add apricots and spices, along with about a tbsp of water. Continue to cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly and adding small amounts of water if necessary, about a tbsp at a time to prevent sticking.
  • Add water starting with the rice soaking water if you are using soaked basmati rice, and adding enough tap water to equal the 2 cups. Add salt.
  • Bring to a boil, then stir in rice. When water boils again, stir, reduce heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and simmer gently for 20 minutes, until liquid has been absorbed.
  • Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
  • Fluff rice with a fork, spoon into a serving bowl and top with peanuts.
