Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup butter
½ cup chopped onion
¼ cup slivered almonds
½ cup raisins
6 cups of hot cooked rice
shredded coconut

Steps:

  • In skillet, melt ¼ cup butter; cook ½ cup chopped onion and ¼ cup slivered almonds till golden. Add ½ cup raisins; heat until plump. Add to 6 cups of hot cooked rice; mix gently. Press mixture into greased mold. Unmold at once on platter. Top with shredded coconut.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice. This will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a rice that is long-grain and has a good texture.
  • Cook the rice properly. Follow the instructions on the package of rice to ensure that it is cooked properly. Overcooked rice will be mushy and will not hold its shape well.
  • Use a well-seasoned rice cooker. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a crispy crust.
  • Pack the rice tightly into the rice cooker. This will help to create a firm ring.
  • Let the rice ring cool completely before unmolding it. This will help to prevent it from breaking.
  • Serve the rice ring with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, gravy, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Rice rings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a rice ring that is both beautiful and delicious.
