Pilau Rice Mix instructions

Pilau Rice is traditionally served with meat and poultry dishes, and is more of a 'special occasion' rice dish.

This mix will make pilau rice for 4 people



Prep time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 20-30 minutes

1 tablespoon ghee (or sunflower oil if dairy-free or vegan)
1 sachet of Pure Punjabi Jeera Chawl Mix ( 1 x rice sachet, 1 x spices sachet)
470ml water
 
Method:

1. Empty rice sachet into a large bowl and wash the rice 5-6 times (or till the water runs clear. Once the water runs clear, drain the rice well. You must not skip this step.
2. Heat a saucepan over a medium to low heat. Add the ghee (or sunflower oil) to the pan. Once the ghee has melted, add in all the spices from the spice sachet. Stir and gently cook for a couple of minutes.
3. Add the drained rice, and dry cook the rice over the heat for 4-5 minutes. The rice will almost become sticky - this is normal. Just keep the rice constantly moving during this dry cooking process.
4. Add 470ml of tap water and stir. With the saucepan uncovered, (leave the lid off), turn the temperature to the highest setting to bring the rice to the boil.
5. As soon as it as come to the boil, turn the temperature to the lowest setting and put the lid on the saucepan.
6. As soon as all the water has been absorbed into the rice, it is cooked *Note: this is the absorption method
7. Run a fork through the rice, this stops it from going sticky and forming a solid clump at the bottom of the saucepan and keeps it light and fluffy. Serve hot.
Pilau rice is served with chicken and lamb dishes, and is delicious with our Adraki Chicken Mix (this is available as an Adraki Chicken & Pilau Rice dinner kit.
