SWEET YELLOW RICE

“This family-favourite rice dish is the first thing to go at family events!

INGREDIENTS

210 g 1 cup, basmati rice
2 sticks cinnamon
¼ t ground turmeric
100 g ½ cup, white sugar
3 T water
60 g butter, cubed

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Rinse the rice for 3 times until the water runs clear. Bring 2 ½ cups water to the boil in a saucepan and add the rice, cinnamon and turmeric and cook for 10 minutes, or until the rice is cooked.

2. While the rice is cooking, place the sugar to a small, microwaveable bowl and pour over the water. Do not stir. Microwave for 2 minutes, stopping halfway through to check whether the sugar has dissolved. Stir and set aside to thicken.

3. Drain and rinse the rice and place in a microwaveable dish. Pour over the sugar water and dot with the butter. Use a knife to cut the butter and sugar syrup through the rice, this ensures that the rice does not break or turn mushy. Cover with a lid or a plate and microwave for 5 minutes, stopping halfway to cut the knife through it again.

4. Serve with your curry of choice. We love having it with roast potatoes, veggies and saucy chicken.
