EXOTIC BASMATI RICE

Posted by Carole-Anne on January 11, 2008

At Healthy Recipes, I have been looking for  good basmati rice recipes so I can get my complex carbohydrate, protein and great flavor  and enjoy eating this rice.  So I have found what I call an Exotic Basmati Rice recipe. 

INGREDIENTS:

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp cumin seeds

1/2 tsp curry powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

6 cloves garlic

4 cups water

4 cups basmati rice

2 tsp sea salt

NEXT TO DO:

Using a 3 quart sauce pan, heat to a medium high with extra virgin oil. 

Add cumin seeds, curry and cinnamon powder and heat for one minute.

Stir in basmati rice and sea salt.

Reduce heat to simmer, put cover on for about 15 - 20 minutes until all the liquid disappears and rice is tender.

Exotic Basmati Rice recipe is recommended as a side dish, but I often feel like making a meal out of rice and add fresh or frozen fresh vegetables on top and will pre-fry some cod or halibut and serve with lemons and parsley as garnish.

This is a great healthy recipe to end your day with.
