Topic: Garlic Chilli Rice

[bamble1976]

Hi All

This is the recipe I use at the moment.  3 chillis makes quite a hot rice so use less if using alongside a hot dish

-   1 Portion Boiled Rice (100g)(well rinsed)
-   400ml Water
-   1 Tsp Turmeric
-   1 Tsp Salt
-   1 Tsp Butter Ghee
-   2 Tsp Veg Oil
-   0.5 Star Anise
-   2 Green Cardamoms, slightly crushed
-   1 Bay Leaf
-   1? Cinnamon Stick
-   1 Clove
-   2 Cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
-   3 Birds Eye Chillis, thinly sliced width ways
-   0.5 Tsp Mix Powder


Method

1. Bring the water to the boil.  Add the turmeric and salt then the rice.  Simmer the Rice until al dente (7 10 mins).  Drain the rice and set aside for 5 mins.
2. Melt the butter with the oil in a wok.
3. Add all the ingredients except the mix powder and gently fry for 5 mins until garlic is taking some colour.
4. Add the mix powder and gently fry for 30 secs
5. Remove the whole spices from the wok and add the rice.  Mix well
6. Serve


NOTE:
a. This is not the absorption method so rice has to be drained.
b. If using pilau rice, add the garlic and chilli plus mix powder but miss out the whole spices.

I will take a picture next time I make it but it is the rice I used with the chi tikka punjabi masala posted in the pictures section.
