(Simple) Turmeric Yellow Rice

(Simple) Turmeric Yellow Rice

Serves 4 as a side

Ingredients

1 cup basmati rice (rinsed)

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups water

½ tablespoon butter or coconut oil (optional but highly recommended)

Directions

In a medium pot combine rice, turmeric, ginger, salt, water, and butter (or coconut oil) if using.

Cover with a lid and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce to a low simmer and cook (covered) for 12 to 14 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed.

Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

If you’re using a rice cooker combine all the ingredients and cook using the ‘white rice’ function. Once the time is up, fluff with a fork and serve.
