Рецепт Geelyrs - Yellow Rice

by Nisha

The second post for this week is another simple rice called Geelyrs. Rice flavoured with turmeric powder and raisins. The dish is said to have been come from the Dutch East Indies, colonies of the Dutch. It is traditionally served as a side dish with Bobotie - a variation of the Shepherds pie.  I have tweaked it a little bit to suit to my palette. I added some cashews and pistachios and a little bit curry powder to pique its flavour.  Geelyrs - Yellow Rice Turmeric and raisins flavoured rice.
