Turmeric and cumin-infused yellow jasmine rice is a flavorful and aromatic dish that brings an exotic flair to your dining table. The combination of warm spices like turmeric and cumin, along with garlic and butter, creates a rich and colorful rice dish that pairs beautifully with a variety of main courses. This recipe is easy to follow and promises a deliciously satisfying result.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
- In a medium-sized pot or saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn.
- Add 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin to the pot. Stir well to combine with the garlic-infused butter, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to bring out the flavors.
- Add the rinsed jasmine rice to the pot, stirring thoroughly to coat the rice with the butter and spice mixture. Toast the rice for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring each grain is well-coated and has absorbed the flavors.
- Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth. Stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pot to lift any stuck-on spices or rice.
- Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This allows the rice to continue steaming and ensures a fluffy texture.
- After 5 minutes, remove the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains.
- Serve the turmeric and cumin-infused yellow jasmine rice as a flavorful side dish to your favorite main courses, such as grilled meats, curries, or sautéed vegetables.
Tips:
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove extra starch and prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can mince the garlic instead of leaving it whole.
- For added depth of flavor, consider toasting the cumin in a dry pan for a minute before adding it to the rice.
- Keep the lid on the pot and avoid stirring the rice too much while it cooks to maintain its fluffy texture.
- If you want to make it vegetarian, you can substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth.
Your turmeric and cumin-infused yellow jasmine rice is now ready to be served. The vibrant yellow color, aromatic spices, and creamy butter make this rice dish not only visually appealing but also incredibly delicious. Enjoy it as a standalone dish or alongside your favorite main courses for a delightful meal experience.
