A delightful twist on the classic jasmine rice recipe, incorporating aromatic spices and a touch of zest for a flavorful experience.
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Rinsing removes excess starch, which helps prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, salt, turmeric, cumin, and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Adding spices to the water infuses the rice with flavor as it cooks.
Stir in the rinsed jasmine rice and return to a boil.
Use a fork to stir to avoid breaking the rice grains.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let the rice simmer for 15 minutes.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain the steam needed for even cooking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
This resting period allows the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and enhances its texture.
Fluff the rice with a fork and gently mix in the lemon zest before serving.
Fluffing with a fork separates the grains and ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Serve the rice warm as a side dish or base for your favorite main course.
Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for added texture and flavor.
