Aromatic Spiced Basmati Rice Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This dish is so flavorful that it could be a main dish! I personally love to serve it with tilapia or swordfish. It's delicious, and it's healthy!

    Washing the rice will remove the starch coating that makes the rice stick together. In Indian cuisine, the rice is supposed to be individual grains, not stickly like Chinese or Japanese rice.

    Spiced Basmati,This dish is so flavorful that it could be a main dish! I personally love to serve it with tilapia or swordfish. It’s delicious, and it’s healthy! Washing the rice will remove the starch coating that makes the rice stick together. In Indian cuisine, the rice is supposed to be individual grains, not stickly like Chinese or Japanese rice.,Wow! This was a real stretch for my family and I honestly was not sure if they would like it or not. Cinnamon and raisins usually mean “dessert” to them. But we all totally loved this, it was delicious, and I am so glad we tried it. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT 3 🙂

    Steps

    1
    Done

    First, Wash the Rice! Place the Rice in a Large Bowl and Fill With Fresh, Room Temperature Water. Swirl Your Hand Through the Water and the Rice; the Water Will Go Cloudy. That's All the Starch That We're Trying to Remove in Order to Have Individual Grains of Rice. Once You've Swirled Your Hand Around For a Minute or So, Pour Off the Water, Taking Care not to Lose Any Rice. Repeat This Washing Process Until the Water Runs Clear. Usually, This Takes 3 or 4 Changes of Water.
