Spiced Turmeric Rice
This spiced Turmeric Rice is a fabulous way to add some color and flavor to boring white rice. Check out the recipe video here. I have a nephew that is visit and and he likes is rice. So I decided to find different ways of cooking rice dishes so my cuisine does not get boring! This rice sure is fun and quick to make. I do not use powdered seasoning because I personally believe that the flavor dissipate too quickly. I used whole dried spice for flavor intensity. And cooking the dried spices in a a little bit of oil before adding the rice help intensify the flavor. For the rice, I love mixing equal part of Jasmin rice with basmati rice to get the texture I love in my cooked rice. You do not need to add msg-free bouillon to your rice if you did not have the intention to eat the rice as is, but with sauce. Most seasoning were from savourous collections, check them out here. You can cook it on the stove, but if you have a rice cooker, just follow the rice cooker instruction. This rice brings some color to the dinner table. It is flavorful and my kids love it so much.
