Tomato Rice

This turns out very nice and lovely. Normally this rice is eaten with Ayam Masak Merah ( Red Chicken??) but you can eat with curry or what ever you fancy.

Recipe:

5 Cups Basmati Rice (Wash and soak for 20 Minutes)

1/2 cup evaporated milk

1/2 cup tomato puree

1 pandan leave

7 tablespoon of ghee

3 cloves garlic sliced

5 shallots sliced

1 inch ginger. Sliced thinly

3 cardamons (Pelaga)

3 star anise

1 cinnamon stick

4 cloves

5 cups of water

salt

1 cup roasted cashew nuts

1 cup raisins

Direction:

In a pot, heat up the ghee and saute the star anise, cardamons, cinnamon and cloves until fragrant. Add the garlic, shallots and ginger and pandan leave (bruised and twisted) and saute until tender. Combine tomato puree and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk and water and boil. Once the liquid is boiling add the rice and stir. Add salt and transfer to a rice cooker. Once rice is cooked, add the cashew nuts and raisins and stir. Serve hot.

Easy Right..
