Indian Harvest Jasmine Blend Rice Food

INDIAN YELLOW JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• The first step to making yellow jasmine rice is to add the butter, garlic, turmeric, cumin and a bit of cinnamon to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes, or until the garlic has softened.
• Add the rice to the saucepan and stir to coat completely. Make sure to get the spices all over the rice and toast for a few minutes. This part creates a ton of flavor, so don't skip it!
• Add the broth (or water) to the pot and toss in your bay leaves. Increase the heat to a rolling boil, add the lid to the pan, and immediately reduce the heat again. Let the rice simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice has cooked and is tender.

• You can adjust the amount of ingredients based on your tastes.

JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• Put the rice in a medium pot with 3 cups of water. Gently swirl your fingers in the pot to allow the starch to separate from the grains. Once the water becomes white, tilt the pot over the sink to drain out the water. Be careful not to let your rice go into the sink. Repeat this process twice more. With each time, the water will get less cloudy. The idea is not to get rid of all the starch, just enough so that the rice will not be too sticky or too dry when cooked. After you have drained the rice the third time, add remaining 1 3/4 cup clean water. Swirl you fingers in the pot once to ensure the rice is leveled and place the lid on the pot. Cook the rice over medium heat, stir the rice with a wooden spoon a few times, then let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• Rinse and drain rice in cold water to remove starch and impurities. Place drained rice and the cold water in a heavy saucepan. Bring the water to a rolling boil, uncovered, over high heat.
• Stir, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan tightly, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove the covered pan from the heat and let stand 10 minutes without removing the lid.
• Remove the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork or rice paddle. Serve warm.
