So what else do you need for a Friday night curry? Tasty rice I should say. Here in the UK we are forever having colourful pilau rice but in India I didn’t come across that anywhere (which I was quite pleased about to be honest!). What I did have a lot was Jeera Rice. Jeera is just the Indian name for cumin. I love the taste of cumin and it is very good for you it can be beneficial for your digestion which is a good thing when eating a spicy curry! Cumin can also lower cholesterol, help to\u00a0boost your immune system and can help\u00a0fight the symptoms of osteoporosis a bit of a super food by all accounts and it tastes good so win win!<\/p>\n

  1. Place some basmati rice in a sieve and rinse under a cold tap until the water runs clear.<\/li>\n
  2. Heat up some gee or other mild flavoured oil in a heavy bottomed sauce pan.<\/li>\n
  3. Add to the pan 5 green cardamoms 1 black cardamom 5 cloves 1 large cinnamon stick and at least 2 heaped teaspoons of cumin seeds.<\/li>\n
  4. Fry for a couple of minutes to toast them off.<\/li>\n
  5. Add the rice and double the volume of water with some salt to taste, stir well and then leave.<\/li>\n
  6. Bring to the boil and then turn down and leave to simmer until the water has disappeared.<\/li>\n
  7. Switch off the heat put the lid on and leave for at least 5 minutes to fluff up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
