▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS LIST: (3 to 4 servings)
3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 cup / 130g thinly sliced Onion
2 cups / 225g Thickly grated Carrots or Julienne cut carrots
1+1/2 cup / 300g White Basmati Rice
Salt to taste (I have added to total 1/4+1/2 Teaspoon of Pink Himalayan Salt)
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
2 Bay Leaves
2+1/4 Cup / 525ml Water
1/2 Cup / 70g Cashews
1/4 Cup / 35g Raisins
Drizzle of olive oil to finish the dish (I have added 1 tablespoon organic cold pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly wash the rice a few times until the water runs clear. This will get rid of any impurities/gunk and will give a much better/clean taste. Then soak the rice in water for 30 minutes.
PLEASE NOTE: It's important that you grate the carrots THICK USING THE LARGER HOLES OF THE BOX GRATER so that when it's cooked it does not turn mushy. Also, thinly slice the onion.
Transfer the cashews to a pan and dry roast it on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Once roasted remove the cashews from the pan and set it aside for later use.
To the same pan add olive oil, onion, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and fry on medium heat until the onion is slightly browned. Now add the thickly grated carrot and fry on medium to medium-high heat (depending on the heat of your stove) for about 4 minutes or until the carrots are cooked and nicely fried. Remove the carrots and onions from the pan and set it aside for later.
(PLEASE NOTE: Use a Wider Cooking Pan to make this dish. This will cook the rice evenly and prevent it from getting mushy)
Now transfer the soaked and strained basmati rice to the pan, along with salt, ground black pepper, ground cinnamon, bay leaves, water and bring to a boil. Cover the lid and reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
While the rice is cooking, finely chop the raisins. The reason we chop the raisins is to allow it to disintegrate in the rice and there won’t be any big pieces but just the flavour. HOWEVER, you can add them whole if you prefer.
Uncover the pan and cook the rice for another 1 minute UNCOVERED, on very low heat, to get rid of excess moisture. Turn off the heat. Add back the cooked carrots and onions, cashews and raisins and spread the topping for an easy mix. Mix gently. DO NOT OVER MIX IT at this time because the rice grains are very soft and can break easily and turn into mush. Once mixed well, cover the lid and let it rest for about 5 minutes for the flavours to blend. Serve hot with your favourite curry.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 Thoroughly wash the rice until water runs clear, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk and will give a much better/clean taste
👉 It's important that you grate the carrots THICK USING THE LARGER HOLES OF THE BOX GRATER so that when it's cooked it does not turn mushy
👉 Use a Wider Cooking Pan to make this dish. This will cook the rice evenly and prevent it from getting mushy
👉 Adding salt to onion will release it's moisture and will help it cook/caramelize faster, so please don’t skip this step
👉 After adding back the cooked carrots/onions/cashews/raisins to the cooked rice - mix the rice very carefully and gently to prevent the rice grains from breaking. DO NOT OVER MIX IT at this time because the rice grains are very soft and can turn into mush

Hello Friends, hope you're enjoying my new video. This is my mom's recipe. Growing up she used to make it for special occasions. I really hope you'll enjoy it as much as our family does :)

[@liatb.566]

Similar to my mums recipe ❤❤❤ but we use broken roasted pistachios instead of cashews 🙏🏼 love your recipes 💋💋💋

[@magiNING]

Looks good! And easy to make, thanks 😊

[@margaret9522]

Do U use raw cashews?

[@renasiegel]

I cooked this dish yesterday and when my husband asked in the afternoon what we will have for dinner and I said "carrot rice" he got a little shocked - as he doesn't like rice at all (he's more a pasta kind of person). But when he ate it he was really really amazed - and he ate a lot !! and is now thinking about me making this rice on Christmas Evening 😁🥰🥰

[@FoodImpromptu]

@@renasiegel so awesome to hear that! You just made my day 😊

[@thebetterbites]

My mom cooks the rice in coconut milk instead of water and the taste is awesome! :)

[@penneyburgess5431]

Thank you! Great suggestion!

[@lesleybrown1583]

Brilliant!!

[@davidjackson6835]

Yes...that's great! I do that...also, chicken stock and.orange juice is terrific.

[@maureen3349]

sounds good, i will give it a try

[@lauras4647]

Does she use the same amount of coconut milk as mentioned with water according to this recipe? 2 1/2 cups of coconut milk?

[@BBaxterSwank]

I made this recipe for my family’s Christmas Day dinner as a side to a very plentiful table of food and it stepped up to be the star. Everyone commented on how delicious it was and how well it paired with everything else. I did substitute dates for the raisins since not everyone is a fan of raisins in my family. I can see using other dried fruits too; apricots and cranberries would be delightful. Anyway, thank you for this easy and delicious dish. I will be making it many times again. Happy New Year.

[@FoodImpromptu]

Hi Wanda, you just made my day!! So glad you liked this recipe. A wonderful New Year to you as well!

[@leticiamedlej]

This looks so amazing, I’ve seen this dish at Iranian restaurants

[@angelina22ist]

Délicieux! Brazilian style rice for Christmas season. 🎄 😋

[@brachacohen1599]

You are amazing. Your recipes are great. Don't stop 🌷

[@FoodImpromptu]

Thank you! 😊

[@elsaboukehili8404]

Bravo, the explanations are extremely clear, and it is very elegantly filmed. It's looked delicious!!!!

[@FoodImpromptu]

Thank you! 😊

[@VictorSGrau]

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make the ingredient list also in grams, thank you a lot and thank you also for your delicious recipes :D

[@FoodImpromptu]

You’re most welcome! 😊

[@msms3260]

Yes, nice of her. But nothing would go wrong even with few spoons of extra or less of carrots or onions. Spices like salt, pepper and cinnamon should be added per owns’ preference.

[@fanniterrette]

Another reliably simple and healthy meal idea! Thank you for spelling out the process, as well.

[@FoodImpromptu]

You’re most welcome! 😊

[@nishakhan4286]

Wow! Your video, recipes and utensils looks rich!

[@fatimamanougui5629]

Délicieux, j’adore merci pour le partage 👍❤️😋😋❤️🇲🇦🇩🇪

[@melodieg.6636]

I have recently been using cinnamon in my cooking and I am pleasantly pleased with the new level depth it brings!

[@fjordhellas4077]

The first time I had cashew, carrots, bay leaves and cinnamon spice with rice was in Beirut Lebanon. We were invited by an Emirati friend from Dubai studying with us at the American University of Beirut. Thanks for bringing me back to 2012! I’m going to make this delicious Middle Eastern recipe! Greetings from Norway.

[@FoodImpromptu]

So nice to hear that! Greetings to you too :)

[@annizhan3171]

This looks amazing. I think it would also be amazing to add roasted chickpeas to this.

[@FoodImpromptu]

Sounds good! :)

[@robertoingenitoiseppato6177]

We've tried this recipe this weekend and the flavour was amazing. We boiled the rice with some quinoa, coconut milk and vegetable broth. We add some mushrooms. The taste was incredible. Thank you

[@giselafiege7169]

I absolutely love the simplicity of this recipe. Making it to take to a potluck tomorrow. Throwing my own twist on it like using all spice and red currants instead of raisins. 🙏

[@FoodImpromptu]

Thanks! So nice to hear that 😊

[@benjaminhandy9752]

Delicious and easy. I have had raisins and carrots in a dish before, and rice with cinnamon was a staple growing up. Combining them produces a fabulously flavored dish.
