Ingredients
- 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- Pinch cinnamon
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups long grain or basmati rice
- 2 tablespoons sliced scallions
Directions
In a medium saucepan, heat the turmeric, cumin, and cinnamon over low heat until fragrant, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add the water, salt, and butter and bring to a boil. Add the rice and stir well. Cover and reduce heat to a bare simmer. Cook, covered, without stirring until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, without stirring, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, add scallions, and serve.

I actually liked this dish, although it was a little bland. the color and texture came out wonderful, but it was a little tastless.

This recipe is a great base & a fantastic alternative to the packaged mixes! We are working on getting that gross packaged stuff out of our diets & this was a perfect yellow rice substitute! Definitely toasting the spices first is a must, but also serving it wiht the green onions really gives it a good flavor kick! :
