Recipe: Perfect TuRmeric Rice Delicious, fresh and tasty.

TuRmeric Rice. Add rice and turmeric; stir to coat. What you'll need: Long grain rice - my favorite rice to use to make this yellow rice is basmati rice, but any long-grain rice works.; Turmeric - I usually go for dried ground turmeric, but if you have fresh turmeric root and would like to use it, then grate it and add it to the rice.; Onion and garlic for extra flavor (optional). Add the rice, raisins, turmeric and garlic.

Turmeric is a rhizome (a tuber, similar to a root) like ginger - in fact, turmeric and ginger are in the same family!

The powder made from the root is bright yellow, and sometimes used to dye foods.

In a heavy saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, melt the butter and add the olive oil.
