Savory Curried Rice With Dried Fruit image

This rice not only looks beautiful, but it's bursting with savory flavors, and your house will smell delicious when you cook this! This is a recipe I adapted from Taste Of Home's Holiday Recipes. I made it my own by altering a few ingredients and adding others, but yield amount and cooking time/method are the same. I like to make the rice mix a day or two ahead to let all the flavors meld. This makes 2 batches of rice.

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 30m

Yield 2 batches, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups uncooked long grain rice
1 cup dried mixed fruit (I use a mixture of dates, apricots, and cranberries)
1 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup raisins or 1/2 cup sultana
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
4 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients. You can do this a day or two in advance to allow flavors to meld, but it's not necessary.
  • Combine water and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
  • Add 2 cups rice mix, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
  • NOTE: I make this a complete meal by adding cooked chicken thighs. You can store this rice mix in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The rice was cooked perfectly and the curry flavor was delicious. I would recommend using less curry powder if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a fan of dried fruit, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with the dried fruit.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra curry powder and chili powder to give it more flavor. The rice was cooked perfectly, though.
