Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 cup basmati rice
2 1/2 teaspoons Madras curry powder
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon mango chutney, plus more for serving
Freshly ground pepper
1 pound turkey cutlets (about 4 large or 8 small)
3 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
4 cups baby kale (about 2 ounces)
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 cup torn fresh mint

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the rice and 1 teaspoon curry powder, then add 1 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the lime juice, mango chutney, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Season the turkey with salt, pepper and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder on both sides. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the chutney dressing. Let marinate 10 minutes.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the turkey; cook until golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet and cook the remaining turkey. Chop the turkey into bite-size pieces.
  • Toss the rice with the remaining chutney dressing, the cucumbers, shallot, kale, pomegranate seeds and mint. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the rice salad among bowls and top with the turkey. Serve with more mango chutney.

BASMATI RICE WITH FRIED CASHEWS AND RAISINS



Basmati Rice with Fried Cashews and Raisins image

This recipe was inspired by a New Year's Day feast I was invited to starring a huge chicken biryani. I helped the host with the final touches of the meal, including frying some nuts and raisins as a topping. I loved the flavor and texture they brought to the meal. While this recipe is certainly not biryani, the toasted toppings mixed into a lightly spiced rice, takes me back to that special day.
