While rice cooking can get monotonous after a point, you can always amp up the quality and flavour of your rice dish by adding these ingredients.
Oh yes, boiling your raw rice in chicken broth instead of regular water can really spruce up the resulting taste as well as the nutritional value of your dish.
A humble combination of two easily accessible ingredients, all you need to do is toss your plain rice in butter and sprinkle salt to make it fluffier and rich.
While coconut milk is the star ingredient of most Asian curries, this one can actually lend a mildly-sweet flavour to your bowl of plain rice too.
Spices like saffron and bay leaves are known for their aroma and strong flavour. Additionally, saffron adds a great colour to your rice too.
This may sound bizarre at first, but plain rice cooked in orange juice has a sweet and tangy flavour that will go well with certain dishes that are low in flavour and spices.
