Instead of making ordinary steam white rice, thought of playing with food coluring & add more flavours to make it something special. Rice are versatile in it's own. It absorp all the flavours you add into. I always look out for grainy & fluffy rice on my plate. Over cooked rice is my worse nightmare. Ready for fluffiness? Here you go....
Ingredients:
3 cups rice
4 1/2 cups water
2 screwpine leaves(pandan leaves)
1 white onion
2 inch cinnamon stick
1 star anise
2 cloves
2 cardamom pods
3 tbsp ghee
salt to taste
few dots of food coluring (preferably yellow or red)
handful ghee fried cashew nuts
Methods:
1.Wash rice & toss aside
2. Over a medium fire, place a heavy bottom pan & melt 2 tbsp ghee. Add cinnamon stick,star anise,cardamom pods & cloves
3. Add the onion & screwpine leaves. Fry till wilted & add in the rice.
4. Fry the rice for 2 mins & transfer to the rice cooker pan.
5. Add water & salt. Stir till all the ingredients to mix together & cook in a rice cooker
6. Meanwhile, place a frying pan. Melt 1 tbsp ghee & fry the cashews.
7. Once rice cooked, add in the food coluring & stir with a fork to spread the colur evenly.
8.Before serving, sprinkle with cashews.
Important notes: Water ratio for rice is 1:1.5. 1 cup rice requires 1 1/2 cup water. For basmathi or long grain rice, read the water ratio on the packaging
