INGREDIENTS

  • Base Ingredients

    • 🧈 1/2 cup unsalted butter
    • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
    • 🌱 1 1/4 teaspoons ground turmeric
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 🍯 1 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 🍚 2 cups basmati rice or other long grain white rice
    • 💧 3 cups water

  • Optional Garnishes

    • 🌰 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
    • 🧅 1/3 cup sliced green onions

STEPS

1

Melt butter in a pan or pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. As soon as butter starts to bubble, add in ginger, turmeric, cayenne, brown sugar, and salt. Cook, whisking, for 1 minute.

2

Add rice, and stir until every grain is coated with butter. Stir in water, and bring to a boil over high heat.

3

Once boiling, gently shake and swirl the pan to settle rice into an even layer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes.

4

Turn off heat, and let rest, covered, for 10 minutes. DO NOT lift the lid or try to stir yet.

5

Remove the lid and use a fork to fluff and separate rice grains. Season to taste, and serve immediately, garnished with walnuts and green onions if desired.

💡 Be sure not to remove the lid during cooking or resting to keep the rice fluffy.You can substitute basmati rice with jasmine rice for similar results.For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts and garnish with additional herbs like cilantro or parsley.
