How to Make Yellow Rice Ii

  1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, turmeric powder, cinnamon stick, salt, and sugar.
  3. Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed.
  5. While the rice simmers, prepare a colander. Once the rice is cooked, carefully transfer the rice into the colander.
  6. Add the raisins to the cooked rice in the colander. Steam for 5-7 minutes (adjust steaming time depending on the plumpness of raisins you like).
  7. Remove the cinnamon stick from the rice. Gently fluff the rice with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of South African Yellow Rice!
