Ginger Rice

It is called Ginger Rice because you will need a lot of ginger to cook it. The rice is very tasty to serve together with curry, any type of curry ... chicken curry, mutton curry, fish curry, just name a few. I will show you how to cook the rice and later I will show you how to cook a very simple India curry.

Here is the list for you to prepare ....

2 cups of white rice
1 stick of cinnamon stick
1 star anise
20 slices of young ginger

1 tsp of chicken granule
1 tsp of turmeric powder (or fresh turmeric paste, 1 tbsp)
1 tsp of salt
1 tbsp of fried garlic and its oil
2 sheets of "pandan leaf"
3 cups of water (to cook the rice or as required)


These are optional, add them in when the rice is cooked or just before serving:

some raisin and/or cashew nuts


Wash the rice as usual and put everything listed above into the rice and cook over the rice cooker.

The rice will be in yellow color due to the turmeric powder.

It smell good and very tasty even you just eat it on its own.
