Instructions

  1. Melt butter in small pot and add onion. Sauté gently for 5 minutes over low to medium heat. Do not brown onion.
  2. Cover rice with water and swish around with your hands, strain in fine sieve and repeat until water is clear. This removes the starch from the rice.

  3. Add rice to onion and butter, stir. Then add spices - curry, Garam Masala, turmeric and salt. Stir to blend the rice and spices. Next add chicken stock and gently stir to incorporate. This will be the last time you stir the rice until done. Cover and bring to a gentle boil. Turn down heat, low to medium, depending on your range and simmer for about 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes and serve. Garnish with chives or a little parsley if desired.
