The rice is right! (I couldn’t resist!) For Turmeric Tuesday, I made this dish using Jasmine rice. Make sure to choose brown or whole-grain basmati and jasmine rice when possible. They have more protein and fiber than white rice. Give them a try! Although if you truly love white rice that’s ok too when using proper portions. Fun fact: make sure you add black pepper to your dishes made with turmeric: it aids in improved absorption of turmeric, thus more antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits! Pair this dish with a lean protein and some veggies and you’ve got a complete meal! Plus this seasoning and flavor combo is so fun and different.
