Basmati

Basmati rice is renowned for its delightful aroma and long slender grains. When cooked, Basmati rice expands in length and produces a light, fluffy texture that is ideal for absorbing the flavours of your cooking. A drier rice, Basmati grains will remain separate, making it a staple of Indian cooking.

Method

  • For the cooking of the basmati (or for any rice variety), to ensure beautifully separated grains, mix 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil into the rice before following packet instructions.

  • Combine the onion, garlic, curry leaves and oil in a large non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until fragrant and onions are translucent.

  • Add the cumin & mustard seeds, turmeric and chilli and stir until spices smell roasted. Add stock, coconut milk, currants, vegetables, sugar and salt.

  • Simmer until the vegetables are tender. Serve hot with the basmati rice. Garnish with coriander.
