Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 2 teaspoon oil
- ½ tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 2 tablespoon raisins or sultanas/golden raisins
- 2 cup water
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You can make this with other white, ideally long grain, rice, but I'd recommend basmati if possible.
