A colorful, fragrant Indian-style rice. If desired, for presentation purposes, the rice can pressed into a lightly-oiled bowl, inverted and unmolded on to a decorative serving plate, and then garnished with fresh cilantro and slices of lime and tomato. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 1/2 cups basmati rice |
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk |
1 1/4 (14 ounce) cans chicken stock |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander |
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric |
1 bay leaf |
1/2 cup raisins |
3/4 cup cashew halves |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in rice, and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken stock, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, salt, turmeric, bay leaf, raisins, and cashew halves. Bring to a boil, then cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
