Hala Cart Style Yellow Rice
Halal cart style yellow rice is a fragrant, golden basmati rice seasoned with turmeric, cumin, and warm spices. This fluffy side dish is perfect with savory chicken shawarma or falafel just like the popular NYC street vendors that serve it up daily!
Ingredients:
2 cups rice (basmati rice for best results)
2.5 cups veggie broth (or water/chicken broth)
1 tablespoon Ghee (or butter)
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Soak the rice for about 30 minutes, before eventually draining and rinse.
Set the Instant Pot to sauté; once hot, add ghee, turmeric, and cumin. Mix well.
Add the drained/rinsed rice and mix while adding in the broth (we added water + bouillon paste).
Stir thoroughly and set your Instant Pot to the rice setting or high pressure for 12 minutes if using a pressure cooker.
Let the rice finish cooking and turn off instant pot/cooker after the timer finishes, letting the pressure naturally release.
Once the pressure finishes releasing, open it and serve immediately!
