Ingredients

• 2 cups basmati rice
• 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1.5 tablespoons curry powder
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 2 teaspoons vegetable bouillon powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the basmati rice, dried onion flakes, garlic powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, curry powder, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and vegetable bouillon powder.

Step 2

Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the rice.

Step 3

Transfer the curry rice mix to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag for storage. The mix can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.

Step 4

To cook the rice, use 1 cup of the mix to 2 cups of water. For multiple servings, scale up the quantities as needed.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the curry rice mix and stir briefly to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Step 8

Serve hot as a side dish or pair it with your favorite protein and vegetables for a complete meal.
