APRON AND PANS - SOUTH AFRICAN YELLOW RICE

Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1⁄2 tablespoon turmeric
1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
1⁄4 teaspoon curry powder
2 cups white basmati rice
3 1⁄2 cups low sodium vegetable broth or 3 1⁄2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 cup raisins

Directions
Heat oil in a pot over medium heat.

Add the fresh and ground ginger, sugar, turmeric, cinnamon and curry powder.

Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Stir in the rice and cook 2 minutes, then add the vegetable broth, salt and raisins. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, loosely covered, until rice is completely cooked – about 15 minutes. 

Add water if necessary to prevent sticking.

Remove pot from heat, cover, and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
