Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium pot, heat 2 tsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1 tsp turmeric powder. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the rinsed basmati rice and stir to coat the rice with the spice mixture.
- Pour in 2 cups of chicken gravy, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
- Stir in the roughly chopped 1/3 cup almonds.
Tips:
- Allow the salmon to marinate in the curry paste for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
- Toast the basmati rice in a bit of oil before adding the chicken gravy to enhance its nutty flavor.
- Use a fork to fluff the turmeric rice once it's done to keep it light and fluffy.
- For a vegetarian version, you can replace the salmon with firm tofu or paneer.
- Add a handful of toasted almonds on top of the rice for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
- Add a pinch of cumin powder to the raita for an extra hint of earthiness.
