Time 2h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon butter
2 medium carrots, roughly chopped
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1 red onion, roughly chopped
5 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons curry powder
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
2 bay leaves
4 cups chicken stock
5 sprigs thyme
2 tablespoons canola or rice bran oil

1 1/2 cups basmati rice

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are softened; a little browning is okay.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of rice: Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, is best for this dish as it cooks evenly and doesn't get mushy.
  • Soak the rice: Soaking the rice for 30 minutes before cooking helps to remove the starch and results in fluffier rice.
  • Use flavorful broth: Chicken or vegetable broth adds flavor to the rice. If using water, add a pinch of salt.
  • Add spices: Cumin, turmeric, and cardamom add a warm, aromatic flavor to the rice.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Yellow rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Fluff the rice: After cooking, fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.
  • Add raisins and nuts: Stir in raisins, almonds, and pistachios just before serving for a sweet and nutty flavor.

Conclusion:

Yellow rice with raisins is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or side dish. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try experimenting with different types of rice, broth, spices, and toppings to create a dish that is unique and delicious.
