Make this colorful, healthful brown rice—packed with the flavor, color, and aroma of turmeric, ginger, and garlic—as an accompaniment for your favorite Indian dishes, such as dal or chana masala. Using a rice cooker means that you can take it easy—just add the ingredients, give them a stir, push the button, and come back to tender, delicious rice.
Rice:
1 tablespoon vegetable olive oil
2 cups reduced sodium vegetable broth
1 cup brown basmati rice, uncooked, rinsed
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons turmeric
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon brown sugar
½ lemon, juiced
Garnish: (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Note: Make this recipe in an Instant Pot using the “rice” setting, following manufacturer’s directions.
Make this recipe on the stove by adding all ingredients to a pot, stirring well, covering, cooking over medium heat, and stirring often, for about 40 minutes until rice is tender.
