Nasi Kuning (Yellow Rice)

My neighbor’s turmeric rice is tasty and she kindly shared the recipe 😀

1/2 kgs long grain rice (basmati), wash and drained

1 1/2 Tbs grated turmeric

21/4 L Santan

3 lemon grass stalks, bruised

4 jeruk purut leaves

salt to taste

2 tsp lime juice

Steam the rice for about 25 minutes until it is half-cooked, then remove.

Dissolve the turmeric with a bit of water and strain the liquid. Mix the turmeric water with the santan and the rest of ingredients. Heat it to boiling.

Pour the rice into the santan mixture. Continue stirring the mixture until the santan has been absorbed by the rice. Take the rice off the heat and stir in the lime juice to give it a good color. Steam the rice until done (about 60 minutes)
