Well I can say it was a success. For the record 210g rice 300ml stock or water 15g butter 1 tbsp oil 1/2 tsp turmeric 4 tsp Panch Puren Salt if you wish, I didn’t as the stock cube was enough Fry Punch Puren in oil for about a minute, take of stove, add butter and turmeric until butter melted, add washed rice and stir making sure rice is coated. Add hot stock and put back on stove bring to a rolling boil, put lid on pan turn heat off and leave undisturbed for 20 minutes. Take off stove, fluff up and serve. Alternatively cool quickly, put in fridge in an uncovered bowl and reheat when required. I find you get a better flavoured rice by doing this. If you want, Add mushroom, fried onions , peppers of whatever takes your fancy. Also excellent as a cold rice salad dish.
