How to Make Caribbean Madras Rice

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
  2. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until softened, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add 1 cup of long-grain rice and stir to coat with the oil for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of hot chicken stock, then add 1 teaspoon of Madras curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove from heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
