We love the scent of the curry leaves in this southern Indian-style dish; they are available fresh and frozen.

Time 35m

Yield Makes 6 cups; Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons safflower oil
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon brown or black mustard seeds
6 curry leaves
Pinch of asafetida
1 medium onion, minced (1 1/3 cups)
3 cloves garlic, minced (4 teaspoons)
1 to 2 Thai bird chiles or 1 long Indian chile, seeded if desired and thinly sliced
Kosher salt
3 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped (3 cups)
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
4 cups Plain Basmati Rice
Coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt butter with oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin and mustard seeds. When mustard seeds begin to pop (about 30 seconds), add curry leaves (take care, as mixture will splatter) and asafetida. Fry 30 seconds.
  • Add onion, garlic, chiles, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and turmeric and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are softened and beginning to caramelize around the edges of the pan, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup water and scrape up any browned bits. Add rice and stir to coat. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Serve, sprinkled with cilantro.
