Regine's potluck signature rice, basmati rice with almonds and raisins

Alcoholic beverages

<br />This wonderful rice dish is inspired from a recipe called Marathi Yellow Fried Rice, from a book called “5 Spices: Simple Indian Recipes Using Five Common Spices.” But I have simplified it by skipping the mustard seeds and Serrano chiles, and instead adding garlic, almonds and raisins. I have also made it a "spicy free" dish (in terms of heat) so as to widen its appeal (for those that tend to be "spicy shy"). Hey, you can always add some Sriracha sauce on individual servings. This is a beautiful looking dish due to the yellow color of the rice (thanks to turmeric) combined with almonds (which are off white/beige) and the cilantro which is green. I have also replaced the canola oil with ghee for a more buttery flavor. I make this dish often for potlucks and it never ceases to amaze one’s palate. It can serve a group of 12 or so, therefore feel free to halve the recipe. Bon Appetit!
