How to make Indian Yellow Rice

Rinse rice well a few times. Soak it for at least 15 mins. Drain the rice and set aside.

On a medium to low flame, heat butter in a pot. Add ginger garlic and saute for 30 to 60 seconds without burning or browning the garlic.

Add all the whole spices or garam masala, pepper and turmeric.

Add drained rice and regulate the flame to high. Fry the rice for about 2 mins stirring occasionally. Avoid stirring often as the rice grains will break.

Pour the stock or water & add salt. Taste test the water and add more salt as required. Bring the water to a rolling boil.

Simmer and cover the pot. Cook on a low heat until the rice is fully cooked.

When done fluff up the turmeric rice with a fork and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve with a curry, dal or a raita.
