Plain rice finished with a pinch of turmeric and a few drops of ghee
Plain rice finished with a pinch of turmeric, a few cumin seeds and a few drops of ghee is everyday food, not a special bowl. It is supportive and not a substitute for a doctor.
Rice finished with turmeric and ghee
A pot of plain rice needs very little to feel looked after. A few cumin seeds warmed in a few drops of ghee, with a pinch of turmeric, spooned over the rice at the end, is the whole idea.
This plate is supportive kitchen food for a tired day. It is not a substitute for a doctor, and it is not a reason to eat a very large mound of rice.
Ingredients
- 1 small bowl of cooked plain rice
- A pinch of turmeric
- A few drops of ghee
- A pinch of cumin
How to prepare
- Cook the rice until soft and keep it plain, without a heavy masala.
- Warm the ghee, add the cumin and turmeric, and take the pan off the heat.
How to use
- Spoon the ghee over the rice and mix it through.
- Eat a modest bowl with dal or a simple vegetable.
- Keep the turmeric as a pinch, not a spoon that stains the whole pot yellow.
Helpful habits
- Leftover rice warmed with this finish works if it still smells fresh.
- A few drops of ghee are enough. There is no need to pool oil on the plate.
Precautions
- Stay with a pinch of turmeric. A large amount can upset the stomach.
- If ghee or fried food already feels heavy, use even less ghee.
- This is supportive only and not a substitute for a doctor.
Frequently asked questions
Should the rice be yellow like pulao?
- No. A pinch of turmeric only tints the ghee. The rice stays a plain plate.
Can I skip the cumin?
- The plate is still the same rice with turmeric and ghee. Cumin only adds a familiar tadka smell.
Is a big bowl better?
- No. A modest bowl is supportive food. Eating a large mound does not add a benefit, and this is not a substitute for a doctor.
