Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I finally found Jasmine Rice at Wal-Marts. I put it in my electric pressure cooker and six minutes later, I had my rice. I also had the most fragrant house. It is absolutely delicious. Nothing fancy. I ate it with butter, salt, and pepper at night and had a bowl with butter, sugar, and milk for breakfast. Then I shared a bunch with my pastor and his wife. They couldn't believe the fragrance that went through their house warming it in the microwave, and they couldn't believe the flavor of the rice. It is now a number one with me along with brown rice. -- Marilyn Daub mcdaub My Cats Knead Me!!! Vanceburg, KY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Love Jasmine Rice, smells good, tastes great…but after a trip to a middle-eastern store… Victory and I have changed to an aged rice, Basmati…OH! Yum-yum and the house smells great… 2 c. basmati rice 3 c. water 1/3 c. Olive oil 1 tbsp curry powder 1 tsp ground cumin ½ tsp ground nutmeg ½ tsp ground cardamom 2 tsp Tamari ¼ c. Lemon juice Salt to taste… Prepare rice, In a skillet, add Oil, Curry powder Cumin, nutmeg and cardamom… Heat gently to mellow the spices and pour over Rice, add the tamari and lemon juice. Note: add a little more water ¼ for softer rice if you like, And if you don’t care for tamari, leave it out. The lemon juice can be replaced with OJ if you want this to be a little sweet. Chop up a tomato, scallions or green onions, lots of fresh cilantro and a dash or two of Balsamic vinegar and olive oil to serve with this…OH, Man! Yum-it-among-it! Cooking is like love, It should be entered into with abandon or not at all., ~Harriet Van Horne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Have you ever tried Basmati rice? It is also very fragrant, and best eaten simply, IMO -Jacki in (finally!) rainy FL , " Marilyn Daub " <mcdaub wrote: > > I finally found Jasmine Rice at Wal-Marts.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 We love Jasmine rice too! One of my Asian friends turned us on to it nearlly 20 years ago and we always have at least 25 lbs of it on hand at all times. We also love Basmati and Red Rice. (If you haven't tried them, I would highly recommend them!- YUMM-O- especially the brown basmati) One of my favorite ways to make Jasmine Rice is to saute some onion in butter then add the rice to the pan and saute that until they begin to look a little transparent. Add a can of cocnut milk, and the rest water to get the proper amount of liquid, and cook as usual. I usually add some sea salt and fresh cracked pepper when it is done. This is good by itself, but if we have some yellow squash, tomato and peppers (cooked together with butter, garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt and pepper), I will serve them over the rice. It is one of our favorite breakfasts! (and lunches...snacks... dinners...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 If you ever get a chance to try kalijeera rice, go for it - I think it might win the fragrant contest! :-) Alex , diana scott <dianascot_33 wrote: > > I love them both. > Diana > > --- On Sun, 11/30/08, jackiwolfe <jwolfe417 wrote: > > jackiwolfe <jwolfe417 > Re: Jasmine Rice > > Sunday, November 30, 2008, 5:35 PM Have you ever tried Basmati rice?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I will when I find it. I live way out in the country and access to places with a variety of rice is very difficult for me.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I believe I have some of this rice. I don't remember if I have cooked any yet or not. That is interesting to know. I love all kinds of rice (although I'm not too keen for the " white " rices)...the brown is what I look for whenever I go any place that has an interesting health food store, market, Asian food store or anything like " Whole Foods Market " . I keep a bunch of different rices in my pantry. It's always an incentive to stir up something " veggie " for meals when it's right there--all kinds of beans, all sorts of grains and many varieties (and blends) of rice. I will definitely give this " Kalijira " (or Kalijeera) rice a try soon! Peace!
