  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1 cup plain nonfat yogurt

3 teaspoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
1 cup basmati rice
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix yogurt and 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic in small bowl. Cover and chill 1 hour. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add rice; stir until coated with oil, about 2 minutes.
