Halal Guys Copycat Turmeric Style Rice
A copycat version of that perfect turmeric style rice you get in every street cart's rice bowls! The best!
- 1.5 cups brown basmati rice can sub white basmati just adjust times
- 3-4 cups chicken broth base this on ratios on the rice bag, I find brown rice always needs more liquid
- ½ stick of butter
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 4 cloves garlic minced or pressed
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Pinch of cayenne pepper optional
- salt to taste (I used about 1/2 tbsp)
On medium high heat, melt butter in pan, then add chopped onions and minced or pressed garlic. Stir and cook until they become translucent. Add spices and rice and stir for about 3-4 minutes until spices become fragrant and rice has begun to brown. Carefully add broth (watch for steam!) and stir everything to combine. Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for about 45 minutes (if using brown rice like above), or cook to the appropriate time per your rice's bag instructions. Allow to sit for five minutes and then 'fluff' with a fork.
