Ingredients

2 Tbsp butter
1 c long grain rice, uncooked
2 tsp curry powder
2 c chicken broth
2/3 c golden raisins
1/3 c celery, chopped
1/3 c green onions, chopped
1/3 c green pepper, chopped
1 Tbsp butter, melted
2 Tbsp chutney
2 Tbsp pimento, diced
2 Tbsp blanched almonds, chopped
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan. Add rice and curry powder; cook over low heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chicken broth; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 13-15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
2. Saute raisins, celery, green onions, and green pepper in 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small skillet until vegetables are tender. Add chutney and remaining ingredients; stir well.
3. Transfer rice to a serving dish; top with raisin mixture.

Tips:

Use high-quality basmati rice. This type of rice is known for its long, slender grains and delicate flavor.
Rinse the rice before cooking. This will help remove any starch and impurities from the rice, resulting in a fluffier, more flavorful dish.
Use the right amount of water. The general rule of thumb is to use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice.
Cook the rice over medium heat. This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
Do not stir the rice while it is cooking. Stirring the rice will release starch and make it sticky.
Let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb all of the flavors.
Serve the rice with your favorite Indian dishes. Some popular options include chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, and vegetable biryani.

Conclusion:

Indian rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. By following the tips above, you can make perfect Indian rice every time.
