It's been a while since I've fixed this, but I was reminded of how tasty it is when I was pawing through some recipes earlier this week. Basmati rice is so fragrant; it's perfect with the other ingredients!
Ingredients:
Basmati rice - measure to the 15 oz. mark on a glass measuring cup
Vegetable oil - 3 Tbsp
Onion - 2 oz., peeled & finely chopped
Green chiles - 1/2 of a chile, chopped fine
Garlic clove, 1, minced fine
Garam masala, 1/2 tsp.
Chicken broth, 1 qt.
Pick over the rice & put in a bowl. Wash in several changes of water. Drain. Pour 2 pints fresh water over the rice & let it soak for 30 minutes. Drain in a sieve for 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. When hot, put in the onion. Stir and fry til onion bits are lightly browned. Add rice, green chile, garlic, garam masala, and salt. Stir gently for 3-4 minutes until all rice grains are coated with oil. If rice begins to stic to the bottom of the pan, turn heat down slightly. Now pour in the stock and bring rice to a boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, turn heat to low, and cook for 25 minutes.
This sounds devine... I LOVE rice and could eat it as just my meal. Thank you for sharing this recipe and linking up with our meme again.

ReplyDeleteHi! A tip for you to prevent rice sticking. First measure the amount of rice you want and place in saucepan then drizzle a little oil over the rice. Stir until all grains are covered with the oil. (Guaranteed to prevent the rice sticking)before seasoning to taste and before adding the water.
