Curry with rice

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make curry with rice? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Basmati rice can be replaced with good steamed long-grain rice. I have chicken broth, vegetable broth is also suitable. A good alternative to butter is melted butter.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse rice several times in cold water. Change the water until it becomes transparent. Thus, we will remove starch substances from the grains, and the finished rice will turn out crumbly. Put the rice on a clean cloth to dry it.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pre-peeled onion cut into small cubes. Garlic is also cleaned, cut into plates. If you want garlic to be present in the finished dish, grate it on a fine grater.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the ginger root, grind it on a fine grater or finely chop it.

5. Step 5:

   

   Heat the butter in a frying pan. Here you can add fresh curry leaves and fry them until transparent and crisp, then remove from the pan. They will give the oil an additional taste and aroma. Put the chopped onion in the pan. Over medium heat, stirring occasionally, fry the onion until half cooked for about 5 minutes.

6. Step 6:

   

   Sprinkle spices: curry, ground coriander, pepper and salt. Fry, stirring frequently, so that the spices reveal their flavor. When adding spices, be guided by your taste, reducing or increasing their amount.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring, until the aroma appears for about 1 minute. Remove the garlic cloves from the pan. If it is grated, mix with onion and ginger.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the washed and dried rice in the pan. Stir constantly, fry the grains in fragrant oil for 3-4 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour the broth over the rice. Determine the amount of liquid based on the recommendations for cooking on the package of cereals. I cooked in a ratio of 1:1.5 (1 part rice and 1.5 parts broth). The rice should be completely covered with broth. Increase the heat, bring the rice to a boil.

11. Step 10:

    

    Cover the pan with a lid and cook the rice over low heat until the liquid is completely absorbed for about 15-17 minutes. The rice should become soft, but not overripe.

12. Step 11:

    

    Leave the rice under the lid on the stove off for another 5 minutes. Mix the finished rice gently, collecting it from the walls of the pan to the center.

13. Step 12:

    

    When serving, you can decorate curry with rice with chili pepper rings, parsley or coriander and, if desired, fried cashew nuts. Bon appetit!
