Buyer beware: there are two Pierre Franey recipes for turmeric rice on this site. I find this one vastly better as a side dish -- using much less turmeric and using water vs. stock. The other version could be better only if intended as more of a main course (such as by adding a protein).
This was delicious and a great side to the Roasted Shrimp Cocktail with Aioli recipe on this site. It came together quite easily. I used Jasmine rice as that is what I had on hand; otherwise, I followed the recipe. I chopped up some fresh parsley and sprinkled it over the rice for serving. I believe next time I will add a little bit more hot sauce and chop my onion a little finer. This is a great go-to side dish to put in the rotation.
