A delightful twist on a classic rice dish, combining the creamy richness of coconut milk with the vibrant flavors of turmeric and dried fruits.
In a saucepan, combine the water, coconut milk, turmeric, and salt.
Using a mix of water and coconut milk balances the richness of the dish.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent the coconut milk from sticking to the bottom.
Add the basmati rice, cinnamon stick, currants, and golden raisins to the boiling liquid.
Rinse the rice beforehand to remove excess starch for a fluffier texture.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain the steam.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
This resting period allows the rice to absorb any remaining liquid.
Discard the cinnamon stick, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve warm.
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro for added color and flavor.
