This dish has its roots in the Dutch East Indies. It’s a delicious recipe that works well with Shakalaka, Bobotie or anything else made on a South African braai.

| 300g | long grain rice |
| 1 tsp | turmeric |
| 1 | cinnamon stick |
| 1/2 tsp | ground cinnamon |

| 60g | sultanas |
Method
- Boil the water in a large sauce pan over a medium heat.
- Wash the rice then add, together with all other ingredients, to the saucepan.
- Mix thoroughly and season, then when water returns to boiling point reduce heat and cover – simmer for 15 minutes, stir occasionally.
- Remove from heat and set aside for another 10 mins. Keep the lid on, stirring occasionally.
