Spicy Indian Rice Recipe is a delicious spicy rice and perfect served with your favourite curry.

Preparation Time: 25 to 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Spicy Indian Rice Ingredients:

• a mugful of long grain rice
• 2 onions , sliced
• 2 tbsp sunflower oil
• ½ tsp tumeric
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 6 cardamom pods
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• large handful of sultanas and roasted cashew nuts

Spicy Indian Rice Cooking Instructions:

• Fry the onions in the sunflower oil in a large frying pan for 10-12 minutes until golden.
  

• Fill a roomy saucepan with water, bring to the boil and tip in a heaped teaspoon of salt – the water will bubble furiously.
  

• Add turmeric and the cinnamon stick to the water. Pour in the rice, stir once and return to the boil, then turn the heat down a little so that the water is boiling steadily, but not vigorously.
  

• Boil uncovered, without stirring (this makes for sticky rice) for 10 minutes. Lift some out with a slotted spoon and nibble a grain or two. If they’re too crunchy, cook for another minute and taste again. They should be tender but with a little bite.
  

• Drain the rice into a large sieve and rinse by pouring over a kettle of very hot water
  

• Stir the crushed seeds of the cardamom pods into the onions with the cumin seeds and fry briefly.
  

• Toss in a large handful of sultanas and roasted cashew nuts, then the hot drained rice. This is great with curry and will also give an exotic edge to grilled meat or fish.
