Yellow Rice with Raisins

We like to serve yellow rice with our Cape Malay dishes and most of the curries we make. In this recipe we add a little bit of spices to make it a bit more special.

Serves 4

250 ml raw long-grained rice
1 litre boiling water
10 ml turmeric
1 stick cinnamon
4 cardamom seeds
5 ml salt
125 ml seedless raisins
25 ml sugar
1 tbsp butter or margarine

Bring water to boil. Add rice, turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom seeds and salt and boil for 20 minutes. Drain in colander, and add raisins. Return to saucepan and add sugar and butter. Steam over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
