Orange rice is a vibrant, flavorful dish originating from South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines, though variations can be found globally. This dish gets its characteristic color and aroma from ingredients like turmeric, saffron, or tomato paste, mixed with basmati or jasmine rice. Often enhanced with onions, garlic, and a medley of spices, orange rice can include additions like vegetables, nuts, or dried fruits for added texture and taste. Rich in complex carbohydrates, it provides an energy boost, while turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties offer health benefits. Low-fat cooking methods and plant-based versions make it heart-friendly, though high oil or butter content can increase saturated fats in some recipes. A versatile side or main dish, orange rice pairs well with proteins like chicken, lentils, or tofu, making it a satisfying choice for diverse dietary preferences.
