Yellow Basmati Rice with Turmeric, Cashews and Raisins

Yellow Basmati Rice with Turmeric, Raisins and Cashews

Rice lovers, you must give this recipe a try!  It’s great as a side or even as an entree, especially for those of you who are vegetarian. The recipe is inspired by Indian and Indonesian cuisine.  I chose basmati rice because of its dry texture and unique flavor.  If you can’t find basmati rice nearby, you can use jasmine rice instead.

I cooked the rice using a rice cooker so it was very fast.  It’s easy and almost no preparation, except for washing the rice and putting the ingredients in one pot.
