Malay curried rice bowl
Asian 20 Mins Prep · 25 Mins Cook
- Using a fine mesh strainer, rinse the rice thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear and all impurities have been removed. Drain well.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the ghee over a medium heat. Add the Malay curry spice mix to the saucepan and sauté for a minute or until fragrant. Stir in the drained rice, coating it with the spices. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, allowing the grains to toast slightly. Pour in the water and add the raisins, sugar and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Avoid opening the lid while the rice is cooking to retain steam and moisture.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This allows the flavours to meld, and any remaining moisture will be absorbed.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and divide between 4 bowls.
- Roughly chop the cucumbers. Slice the capsicum. Slice the corn kernels off the cobb. Finely slice the radishes. Roughly chop the coriander.
- Top the rice bowls with the prepared ingredients and serve.
