Terrific thanks....I have a new neighbour called Abdul who's from Alexandria, Egypt and he brings me food that iv'e never tried before, and the flavours are fantastic and now I want to learn how to cook Middle Eastern food...It's soooo yummy 😋 His English isn't very good yet and I don't speak Arabic, but he's just signed up for an English course at college and I'm going to learn Arabic online, so hopefully in a few months we will be able to communicate and become good friends...But for now, I'm here on KZread to learn some cooking...I already cook Indian, Chinese, Russian, Polish and French food, and now I'm going on a new adventure 😊🙋🏻‍♂️

I went to Jordan and bought a ton of spices that I don’t know how to use. Thank you so much for these recipes!! ♥️

This rice is simply the best rice I've ever made. I made a load of middle-eastern dishes last night and somehow this rice outshone everything else. Delicious.

Thank you so much for the recipe! My Egyptian husband refused to eat my rice always , until today when I cooked the rice in your way. I must say that he was impressed and I was surprised by what an amazing, tasty flavour it has 😍

I made this tonight to go along with some tandoori chicken. The chicken was great, but I enjoyed the rice even more! Thanks for the fantastic recipe!

Thank you 😊 I can’t wait to make this rice for my Papa !

That crunchy rice you mention that you save as a “chef’s treat” reminds me of a sort of accidental version the tahdig every Iranian I’ve ever met prides themselves on, or bemoans their inability to get right.

Indonesian will love this! Yellow rice is a staple breakfast menu down here. Oh yeah! You should check out Indonesian Nasi Tumpeng. It's variant of yellow rice of short grain rice. Instead of using stock to boils it, it uses coconut milk, turmeric, and long pandan leave. The rice then shaped like a big cone in the middle and surrounded with various Indonesian side dishes. It's the grand menu of Indonesian cuisine because it only serves for special celebration. Fun fact: the tip of the yellow rice cone is only served to the most important person of the celebration.

Loved this recipe, thank you for sharing! A question: if you added more stock to the rice, wouldn't you end without any burnt bits on the bottom? In m country we also do rice in a similar way, and I found that adding extra water would remove the sticky rice on the bottom

@MiddleEats

3 жыл бұрын

Actually those crispy bits aren't burnt, they're fried and they're perfectly edible. It happens because the oil and butter sinks to the bottom of the pot and fries the bottom layer of rice. Adding more liquid would causes the rice to over absorb it and with basmati rice it can go mushy or doughy. I quite enjoy the crispy bits, it's a fantastic texture!
