Ingredients
Method
- Rinse the rice under running water or place it in a container and repeatedly fill it with water, stir, and drain until the water runs clear. Boil water in a 3:1 ratio (water:rice). Add the rice, season with salt and 2 teaspoons of curry, and add half of the coconut oil. Stir together. Once boiling, reduce the heat. Cook covered and without stirring for about 10-12 minutes. By the end of cooking, the water should be absorbed (drain any excess if necessary). While the rice is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Heat the rest of the coconut oil in a pan. Add the almonds/almond flakes and fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer the cooked rice onto a plate. Top with the roasted almonds/almond flakes. Serve warm or cold.
