Cumin Cashew Rice

CUMIN RICE ALONE IS VERY MEDICINAL AND YOU CAN HAVE IT WITHOUT THE CASHEWS. 

Cumin rice can be a staple if you are simply in a rush and don’t have time to make much. It cleanses the colon, helps with digestion, and purifies the liver.

Serves: 3-41x2x3x4x5x

Prep time: 20 MinCook time: 15 MinTotal time: 35 Min

IngredientsUSMetric

• 1 cup of rice
• Water (enough to cover the rice)
• 1 tablespoon ghee
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 3-5 curry leaves
• 1/4 cup cashews (halved or crushed)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Soak rice for 20 minutes before cooking. Once soaked wash the rice until the water comes clear.
2. Add plenty of water to the saucepan to cover the rice and bring the rice to a boil. Once boiling lower to medium heat and cook for 10 minutes. While cooking scrape off any white foam that rises on the surface. To test if rice is cooked pick a piece of grain and see how much crunch is left. A little crunch is ok as the rice continues to cook. Strain rice and set aside.
3. Heat the ghee in a sauté pan on medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, and cook for 30 seconds. Add cashews, and curry leaves, and cook for 30 seconds. Add this mix to the cooked rice, add salt and serve hot with dhal or any side dish.
