Rice is a staple part of so many Asian meals. Growing up, the only rice my Mum cooked was long grain rice. I still use this but it it nice to have jasmine or basmati rice with Asian food. My husband’s favourite is basmati rice and he especially likes how I cook it in this recipe. We refer to this rice as yellow rice and my husband is always happy when I tell him we are having yellow rice for dinner - he has at least half a plate of rice with his Mongolian Lamb and then goes back for seconds and sometimes thirds.

As this is Indian inspired, ghee should really be used but because I don’t cook many recipes that use ghee I don’t bother to buy it and use butter instead.
