Yellow Rice


This is the first time that I prepared this aromatic yellow rice at home. This is a simple rice dish with a great blend of spices. The first time I read the recipe I felt it was closer to lemon rice, minus tangy taste. But when I made this I really enjoyed its delicate and unique flavor -the aroma of spices,roasted cumin and coconut. I added green peas quite generously ( gave a greenish yellow color to my rice) as my sunny boy loves it. It is just optional. Here comes the recipe.

Ingredients
Basmathi Rice- 2 cups
Green peas- 1 cup
Salt to taste
Water- 4 1/2 cups

Turmeric- 1/2 tsp
Dry red chilly -2
Green Chilly-2
Onion- 1/2 an onion
Cinnamon stick- 2 two inch piece
Clove- 4-5
Cardamon- 3
Black Jeera- a pinch
Cumin seeds- 1 tsp
Hing- 1/3 tsp
Ginger chopped- 11/2 tsp
Dry coconut- 2 tsp
Coriander leaves
Ghee- 1/2 tsp
Oil


Cook rice in four and half cups of water along with green peas, salt till all the water is evaporated.

Heat oil in a pan and add ginger and dry red chilly saute till the raw flavor disappears. Add in coconut whole garam masalas and cumin and saute till the coconut gets a golden color. Add onions and green chillies and fry till it becomes golden color. Now add turmeric and hing and after a few seconds the rice and evenly coat the masala. Finally add half tsp of ghee and garnish with coriander leaves. It goes well with any spicy curry.
