Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Rinse: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
  2. Transfer: Place the rinsed rice in the rice cooker.
  3. Pour liquids: Pour the coconut milk and broth over the rice in the rice cooker.
  4. Season: Sprinkle the salt, turmeric powder, and garlic powder over the rice.
  5. Add bay leaves: Add the bay leaves to the rice cooker.
  6. Add oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the rice. Olive oil will add a nice richness and flavor to the rice.
  7. Cover and cook: Close the rice cooker lid and set it to the “White Rice” or “Cook” setting, depending on the rice cooker model. If the rice cooker has a “Turmeric Rice” setting, use that for even better results.
  8. Cook: Let the rice cooker do its job, and it will automatically switch to “Keep Warm” once the rice is cooked. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes, but it can vary based on the rice cooker.
  9. Fluff: When the rice is done, carefully open the lid, and remove the bay leaves. Fluff the turmeric rice with a fork to mix in the flavors evenly.
  10. Serve: Serve the delicious turmeric rice with coconut milk and olive oil as a side dish or as a base for curry or stir-fry.
  11. Enjoy: Enjoy the homemade turmeric rice with a creamy coconut flavor!
