🧂 مكونات
- 2 cups Basmati rice
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 60g (approx. 1/2 cup) Raisins

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan or pot over medium heat. Add the rinsed and drained Basmati rice and stir for 2-3 minutes until the grains are lightly coated in butter and smell slightly nutty. Be careful not to brown the rice.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 2
Pour in the water, add the ground turmeric, cinnamon stick, salt, and sugar. Stir well to combine and ensure the turmeric is evenly distributed, giving the liquid a vibrant yellow hue.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Cover the pot tightly with a lid. Let the rice simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to trap the steam.
⏱️ 20-25 minutes - 4
Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Let it stand, covered, for another 5 minutes. Then, remove the cinnamon stick. Gently fold in the raisins using a fork. Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains and ensure the raisins are evenly distributed. Serve hot, ideally as a side dish to bobotie or other savory dishes.
