A mild or spicy recipe for basmati rice, made with typical Indian spices that anyone would enjoy. It is full of flavor and color.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons butter (or ghee or oil)
  • 2 to 4 Tablespoons shredded carrots (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 1/2 red pepper (or 1/4 teaspoon dried red chili peppers), for spicy heat (optional)
  • 1 sprig of parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Rinse rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes the excessive starch which prevents stickiness.
  2. Add broth, butter, spices and sugar/stevia; and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, uncovered.
  4. Cover, lower heat to low, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until liquid the rice absorbs all of the liquid.
  5. Remove whole spices and discard. (They will most likely have all floated to the top.)
  6. Add any meat such as pieces of tender chicken or beef; and toss gently. Serve immediately.
