Directions:

  1. Place rice in boiling water to which 2 tablespoons of salt has been added, cooking until done, approximately 20 minutes. (I personally make my rice in the microwave so follow your own method for rice success!)
  2. Drain rice and rinse in cool water then strain.
  3. Cover bottom of pan with 2 tablespoons canola oil and then sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon turmeric and 1/2 tablespoon salt, then layer the potatoes on the bottom of the pan. Cover the potatoes with the other 1/2 teaspoon turmeric and 1/2 tablespoon salt.

  5. Take a dish towel and wrap it around the lid and then place lid on pan.
  6. Place lid on pan and put pan on burner for 45 minutes at very low heat.
  7. Remove lid and place plate upside down on pan. Invert and serve.
