Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups basmati rice
- 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1.5 tablespoons curry powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons vegetable bouillon powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the basmati rice, dried onion flakes, garlic powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, curry powder, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and vegetable bouillon powder.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the rice.
Transfer the curry rice mix to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag for storage. The mix can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To cook the rice, use 1 cup of the mix to 2 cups of water. For multiple servings, scale up the quantities as needed.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the curry rice mix and stir briefly to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Serve hot as a side dish or pair it with your favorite protein and vegetables for a complete meal.
