Geel Rys - Yellow Rice (South Africa) Recipe

Melt butter over moderate heat in a heavy, medium-size pot. Add rice, and stir until each grain is well coated. Then add cinnamon, salt and turmeric plus 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to simmer.

Cook for 20 - 30 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in the raisins and heat for another minute or so before serving.
