MA's Kitchen Yellow Rice Paste makes it easy to cook Sri Lankan yellow rice at home. The blend of fragrant spices gives rice a golden colour and a subtle flavour that goes well with any curry or side dish.
It is made with turmeric, lemongrass, cinnamon, curry leaves, pandan leaves, clove and cardamom, with coconut, garlic and onion, so the usual whole spices are already in the paste and there is nothing extra to measure. It comes in a 50g pack, enough to colour and flavour a pot of rice for the table.

How to use
For Yellow Rice, wash and drain the rice, then fry it briefly in a pot with the paste and a little oil until every grain is coated. Add water or thin coconut milk, bring to the boil, cover and cook on a low heat until the rice is tender and fluffy. Serve with chicken curry, dhal and a sambol.
