Geelrys (yellow rice) is great with bobotie and curry. Its other name, begrafnisrys (funeral rice) comes from the fact that it was always part of the meal served after funerals, a tradition of both the Dutch and the Cape Malays. Ingredients:
250 ml (1 cup) rice |
60 ml (1/4 cup) seedless raisins |
6 whole cloves |
5 ml (1 teaspoon) salt |
2 ml (1/2 teaspoon) turmeric |
1-2 thin slices green (fresh) ginger |
625 ml (2 1/2 cups) cold water |
30 g (30 ml) (2 tablespoons) butter |
Directions:
1. Combine the rice, raisins, cloves, salt, turmeric, ginger and water in a medium saucepan. Cover and simmer gently until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Add the butter, fluff up with a fork and discard the ginger. Tip into a warm bowl and serve hot.
