Sunday Kitchen's tips

Sella rice is a type of parboiled basmati rice and can be found in most Middle Eastern and Asian supermarkets, although I have begun to see them in supermarkets. The grain is long and steamed during the preparation, so it has a slightly golden color. Best of all, it is incredibly forgiving, making it super easy to cook.

This cumin rice is so easy to make, but so flavourful and different. I fried the onions, ghee, rice and spices and then put everything in the rice cooker with my usual ratio of water. Turned out perfectly. Served with pine nuts instead of almonds.

Might have overdone the almonds a bit but they tasted great. Easy recipe and a bit of a difference to the norm

Delicious rice didn’t have ghee but tasted good with sausage and green veggies

Delicious with the lamb kofta! Such a simple way to elevate rice. Definitely worth toasting the nuts as it really added to the whole flavour profile.

A tasty rice dish , not too overwhelming . A good companion dish to the cauliflower and sweet potato dish also in Clove. I used sunflower seeds as I didn’t have slivered almonds.
