Season plain brown rice with the delicate flavors of cardamom, cinnamon and ginger. Brown rice is a source of vitamin E and the B vitamins, making it a great addition to your diet. Serve along with a curry.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp cardamom pods
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, sliced
  • 1 cup brown rice, dry
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  • Put everything into a medium pot with a lid, and bring to a boil. Turn down to low and steep for 45 minutes, or until the rice is cooked.
  • Once cooked, remove the whole spices.

Notes

To save time, boil water in a kettle while you toast the rice. Then it will come to a boil immediately when you add the water. Save even more time by doing this all in a pressure cooker! After sauteeing the rice, set for 10 minutes on pressure.
