Jasmine Rice With Cumin And Mustard Seeds 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.

CUMIN RICE

Steps:

• Add the butter and cumin seeds to a medium sauce pot. Sauté the cumin seeds in the butter over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes, or just until the butter starts to turn golden brown. Do not let the butter burn.
• Add the uncooked rice to the pot and continue to stir and cook for 2-3 minutes more to toast the rice.
• Mince the garlic and add it to the pot along with the salt and water, and stir to combine. Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to high, and let the liquid come up to a boil.
• Once it reaches a boil, turn the heat down to low and let it simmer (with lid) for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let it sit undisturbed for 10 more minutes before lifting the lid.
• After resting for 10 minutes, remove the lid, fluff with a fork, and serve.

JEERA (CUMIN) RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium size saucepan over a medium-high heat. Drop in the cumin seeds, and cook until they splutter. Do not allow the cumin seeds to burn or become really dark brown in color. Add the rice and fry it in the oil for about 1 minute.
• Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the rice for approximately 15 minutes. If you feel the rice is getting burnt near the base of the pan as it cooks, one trick is to place the saucepan on another flat pan or griddle which is directly on the flame. Toss with a fork.
