Hello everyone, how are we these days? I hope you have a good time. Do you like Indian spices food, like Indian curry? I found the recipe that they use all the spices to cook the rice. It gives you different favourites. Maybe think of it like Indian spice risotto. I call it “Indian Spice Rice”. I think the good thing about this dish is that you don’t need extra seasoning, except salt and black pepper. You can taste the most natural spices. I think your body will pleasure from that. So that gets cooking!!!!
Ingredient for Indian Spice Rice
1 cup of basmati rice or long grain, wash (If you don’t have either rice, use whatever rice you have)
500g of mixed mushroom, I use cup mushroom and shiitake mushroom, sliced
4 slices of ginger, sliced
1/2 Red or white onion, diced
1/2 of Zucchini, diced
1/2 of Red Capsicum, diced
3 Bay leaves
1 star anise
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp Sichuan peppercorn
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
3 tsp curry powder
1 tsp smoked paprika powder
1 tsp of chilli powder (optional)
Salt and Pepper
Method for Indian Spice Rice
- On low-medium heat, add the oil then throw in the ginger. Fry until the ginger starts to curl up. Remove the ginger.
- Use the same pan, Fry the mushroom until golden colour. Then Remove it and set it aside. Then use the same frying pan to sauté the onion, zucchini, and capsicum until fragrant. You can add more oil if you need to. Then set aside.
- Throw in bay leaves, star anise, cumin seeds and Sichuan peppercorn, and saute for 3-4 minutes or until fragrant. Remove the bay leaves and leave rest spices in the pan.
- We are going to throw in the rest of the cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, curry, paprika, and chilli in the pan, and saute for 3-4 minutes.
- Now, pour into the rich and stir until the rice and spices are evenly coated. Then pour in 1.1 cups of water. Then stir it, cover the lid and turn the heat down to low-medium heat. Cook for 15 minutes, When the time is up, remove the lid. Check to see if there is still water in the pan. If there is some, keep cooking until the water is gone. We want to make the rice feel like a crust.
- Pour all the veggies back into the pan. Cover the lid and switch off the heat for another 2 minutes.
- Stir it before they serve. I serve it with some boy choy and roast potatoes.
- Enjoy it.
Note
- When you cook the Indian Spice Rice, make sure you use the thick bottom non-stick pan. So the pan can stand the heat long period of time.
- When I cook the rice, I use 1 cup of rice to 1.1 cups of water. I like the rice slightly harder. Or you can use your own ratio to cook the rice.
- You can use leftover rice to cook this dish. It can save a lot of time.
- This dish can be spicy, you serve it with some yogurt. The acid can help you reduce the spicy.
- You can change the recipe to suit your liking.
