Rice with turmeric for garnish

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. Choose a high-quality rice producer - do not chase cheap cereals. Then you will get smooth, beautiful grains in the package without garbage and foreign impurities, as well as without larvae of grain midges. In shape, it can be either round-grain rice or long-grain rice at your discretion. Choose natural oil with a fat content of at least 82%. Turmeric is dried and crushed, but you can also take fresh turmeric root and rub it.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the rice well under running water. By the way, the water with which you wash the rice is very good to use for watering flowers. To make the rice crumbly, you need to wash off the starch from it, so rinse it until the water is clear. For this procedure, it is best to use a sieve.

3. Step 3:

   

   Prepare the dishes in which you will cook rice. Do not look that there is not much rice, keep in mind that during cooking it will increase almost 2 times, so take a bigger pot. Fill the rice with filtered or bottled water based on the calculation that 2 cups of water should be taken for 1 cup of rice.

4. Step 4:

   

   Salt the rice. I use coarse sea salt. But you can also take ordinary table salt.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put the pan on medium heat and bring to a boil. Foam will form on the surface - be sure to remove it so that the water remains transparent. Then reduce the heat to a minimum, cover the pan with a lid and cook for 20 minutes, in no case opening the lid.

7. Step 6:

   

   This is how the rice looks after cooking, but there is still a little liquid left in it.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add turmeric. This powder is quite bright in color - it will give rice a beautiful bright color! Mix intensively.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add butter, cover with a lid. When the butter has melted, stir the rice.
