This Turmeric Coconut Basmati Rice recipe has it all – it tastes delicious, is easy to make, it’s vegan and it contains turmeric. Turmeric is a really versatile spice that also has a whole lot of health benefits. It aids digestion, has anti-inflammatory properties and can relieve pain. It also turns anything it comes into contact with bright yellow. That means fun food, but it’s not so fun if turmeric gets in your clothes. So wear an apron or else you’ll never remove the stain!
To make this recipe I combine onion, ginger, garlic with turmeric and basmati rice and I cook it all in coconut milk and water until I have a pot of fluffy yellow rice. I serve this rice in little bowls topped with chopped fresh basil leaves.
To make my version of Turmeric Coconut Basmati Rice, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, ginger and salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are soft.
Add the basmati rice and turmeric to the pot. Allow the rice to cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly to avoid sticking.
Pour in the coconut milk and the water. Stir well and turn the heat up to high. Bring to a boil.
Once the liquid has come to a boil, turn the heat down to low and cover. Allow to cook for 15-18 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.
Fluff up the rice with a fork and serve in small bowls, garnished with freshly chopped basil leaves.
