Rice with ginger

4 servings

20 minutes

Ginger rice is a fragrant and refined dish of Indian cuisine that combines the tenderness of basmati rice with the spicy depth of spices. Ginger, known for its warming effect, adds a slight heat and fresh citrus note to the dish. Historically, such dishes originated in India, where spices are used to enhance flavors and improve digestion. Sautéing dry rice in spiced oil makes it fluffy, while butter adds creaminess. This versatile dish pairs well with meat and vegetable dishes but is rich enough to enjoy on its own. An ideal option for a cozy dinner filled with exotic notes and the warmth of Indian traditions.
