DIRECTIONS
Cook the Rice
Use a rice cooker or add the butter to a saucepan and heat for a minute at low heat. Add the rice, 3 cups water, salt, 1 Ceylon Cinnamon stick and 1/2 tsp turmeric and bring to a boil.
Then turn the heat to low, cover and leave for 15-20 minutes. The rice should be ready by then. Break up the rice and fluff it. Cooking the rice is tricky. You don't want it to be soggy but well cooked and dry. Sometimes it is better to cook the rice the day before so it is dry.
