Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spiced Yogurt Rice.
Step 1
To start your delightful dish, grab a saucepan and combine jasmine rice with water.
Step 2
Bring this mixture to a lively boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low.
Step 3
Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water.
Step 4
While the rice is cooking, take a small skillet and warm up some ghee over medium heat.

Toss in a broken dried red chile pepper and sauté it for around 30 seconds until it releases a wonderful aroma.

Next, add black mustard seeds to the skillet and keep cooking until they begin to pop, which should take about another 30 seconds.

Once fragrant, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in ground turmeric, fresh curry leaves, and a pinch of asafoetida powder if you have it on hand.

Now, in a large bowl, whisk together milk and yogurt along with your spiced ghee mixture until everything is beautifully smooth.
