Plain rice to accompany curries with whole cumin for added flavor

#week2of5

My family like plain boiled rice with every kind of curry, but, particularly with Chicken Tikka Masala (see https://cookpad.wasmer.app/uk/recipes/352376-chicken-tikka-masala?invite_token=m8cJT99fm1wMNcEYHMnxXutF&shared_at=1618842991 ), I like this version of pilau rice, based on Madhur Jaffrey's recipe for Tumeric Rice. It gives the curry an authentic touch.

Rice is to the Middle East what pasta is to Italy. While rice is a staple in Asian countries, there it is typically served plain; the flavors coming from the sauces for the vegetables, meat or legumes. Iraqi and particularly Iranian rice dishes, on the other hand, are known for their flavours, colours and, especially, their presentation. The way we serve them is something of a ritual. Having more than one rice dish at a meal is not unusual. Sometimes we even make a rice crust on the bottom of a dish so that, when served turned upside down, it looks like a cake.It took me a long time to get used to making a smaller quantity of rice for dinner. When I was growing up, my mother would serve everyone a big mound of rice topped with whatever stew she had cooked that day. We’d eat the rice with a spoon or by scooping it up with a piece of hubus, or flatbread. I guarantee you that in any traditional Iranian home you’ll find a huge pot of rice on the stove.The Iranian and Iraqi method of preparing rice: partially cooking it, draining it, then returning it to the pot with fried onion and a touch of water and continuing to cook it very slowly. This method results in delicious dry, almost crispy, rice, but it is time-consuming and the rice loses some of its nutritional value.Here’s my way:

I love rice but I prefer to add vegetables. This recipe calls for celery, carrots, onions, and hot peppers, but you can substitute any other vegetables. Rice freezes really well so I like to make a big batch and then freeze in 1-2 cup amounts.

Bean sprouts would be a great addition! I couldn't give measurements for the spices because I like my food very spicy. Also, apparently the keys to a good fried rice are: using cold rice and cooking with butter

This vegetarian dish is easy and tastes great. You can use onions instead of leeks. If you do use onions, let the first batch caramelize really well....it's worth it!!

I love my winter recipes, and this one especially. Just the right amount of heat to take the chill off.
