Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice well under running water until the water runs clear. Alternatively, put in a pot/bowl and cover with water, agitate the rice with your hands then drain. Repeat at least once.
  2. Put the rinsed rice in a pot with the oil, sugar, turmeric and raisins. Pour in the water, stir to mix everything together then cover the pot.
  3. Place the pot over a medium-high heat to bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and allow to cook until all of the water has been absorbed, around 10minutes. Stir to mix before serving.

Notes

  • You can make this with other white, ideally long grain, rice, but I'd recommend basmati if possible.
