Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 7 servings

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 3 large shallots, chopped (Optional)

  • 2 cups uncooked jasmine rice, rinsed and drained

  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 3 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

Directions

  1. Heat butter in large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; cook and stir until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour in rice, garlic, salt, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and bay leaves. Continue to cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until broth is absorbed and rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

  2. Remove from heat. Discard bay leaves. Transfer to a bowl.
