Nope. Not the blended and looking really green Coriander Rice. Somehow, I don't know why, I don't or shall I say we in our house don't fancy that particular traditional Indian style coriander rice dish. No offence to anyone, just that we don't like it. We have tried, but its still a no. I actually prefer something more of a relaxed and easy, going with the flow coriander rice (Dhal Rice). A simplified manner of course (Jeera/Cumin Rice), and as always, yes, rice cooker is my saviour for a rice dish (Nasi Lemak Sambal Udang & Lemon Cashew Rice). For plain rice and even for this my version of Coriander Rice (Ghee Rice & Nasi Dagang). Of course, let me repeat myself again. Rice is always an all time favorite. Any which way (Malaysian Fried Rice) and for my Coriander Rice, as you may have already noted, its Basmati rice, coriander leaves, garlic, oil and salt. That's it. Cooked in a jiffy and for the lovely fresh scent of coriander leaves.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups Basmati rice – wash and
drain
1 small bunch of coriander leaves –
shredded/chopped
10 garlic – chopped
3 tbsp oil
Salt for taste
Water (as needed)
Method
Fry garlic in heated oil till light brown
in colour.
Add rice and continue to fry for 3-4 mins.
Tip rice into rice cooker; add water
and season with salt.
Once rice is cooked, combine in
coriander leaves.
Fluff up before serving.

ReplyDeleteI've always loved garlic fried rice. Will try them out with soem coriander the next round. I love coriander too:D
ReplyDeleteThis simple yet aromatic rice recipe can be called as "Flavor Punch" - I love the simple idea of bringing that flavor which stands out by just using one spice, one aromatic leaf and of course the bridge between the 2, which is ever lovely Olive Oil.
