I’ve seen on many occasions, that when dinner is served, the star of the show is usually the protein. Little attention is paid to the side dish which I think should definitely get more of it. Of course, it always depends on what the main course is. It’s hard to figure out an alternative to a stir fry served with something other than white steamed rice.
Talking about rice, there’s a recipe that I enjoy making as a side dish… my Indian Basmati with Dry Fruits! This rice is so flavorful and packed with yumminess! With spices, herbs and a few added ingredients, this is a great side dish that pairs so well with many proteins. Although there are dried apricots and dried raisins in it, it’s surprisingly not sweet… just the right amount to make this dish so tasty!
Many times this Indian Basmati with Dry Fruits rice has become the “star” of the meal. Visually, it’s very appealing and hard not to resist! As the saying goes – “We eat with our eyes first” and in this case, this is so true! It has a beautiful bright yellow color with hints of red and green… enough to make us all hungry. I also like to pair it with my Tandoori Chicken… yummy!
Next time you want to serve a side dish with rice and want to elevate it a few notches higher, this Indian Basmati with Dry Fruits recipe is the one to make. Don’t be surprised if it steals the show…
Bon Appétit!
