A new Indian rice dish to celebrate National Curry Week this week...this golden pilau rice recipe was part of a reader's Father's Day meal in the June Asda magazine. It went along with recipes for chicken jalfrezi and garlic flatbread. I made the jalfrezi but not the flatbread as there's a yummy recipe here on Felly Bull for quick naan breads.
The end result is fluffy subtly spiced pilau rice that won't overpower your favourite Indian mains.
Tips
- If you run out of brown onions, like I did the first time I made this…use a red onion instead!
- This golden pilau rice recipe can easily be adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
