Yellow Rice

How to Cook Yellow Rice - Indian Style

This is my favorite recipe. Simple and easy needs very little of spices.

Yellow Rice also known as Tehree can be a full meal in itself.

Yellow rice is cooked in many ways. However, there is a special way it is cooked in India. It is also known as Tehree. Use of vegetables is optional but potatoes and rice are the base.

You mus use a good quality rice in order to get good results. Basmati rice works best even though you can use other type of rice too.

Mixed vegetables use is optional but for this recipe I do use it with 4 small potatoes and a Green Chili. Get some rice and that is all that you need to cook this full home cooked meal.

Add some spices and the dish will be done in no time using a pressure cooker, my favorite utensil. If you have never cooked rice in a pressure cooker give it a try. You will love the results.
