Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the jasmine rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, ensuring the rice remains fluffy.
2
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Once boiling, add the rice, cover, and simmer over low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until fully cooked and the water is absorbed.
3
While the rice is cooking, mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley. Measure out the spices and place them in a small bowl, ready to use.
4
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
5
Add the cumin seeds, Hungarian Sweet Paprika, turmeric, and black pepper to the skillet. Toast for another 30 seconds, allowing the spices to release their aroma.
6
Pour the cooked rice into the spiced butter mixture and gently toss to coat each grain with the flavorful butter.
7
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a burst of freshness and extra flavor.
