You may find I gave this recipe a strange name, Spice Rice, seeing the fact that there are no spices in the list of ingredients. But I got this recipe from my dear friend and she said that this is the name. It is quite interesting.

One day we had a vehicle sale at my place of work and my co-workers and I decided to prepare a meal for our customers just a token of appreciation to our customers. This dish was part of our menu.

Ingredients
2 cups of rice
1/2 cup of peanuts
1/2 cup of raisins
1/4 cup chopped dates
2 table spoons of these spices combined Cinnamon Powder, Star Aniseed Powder and All Spice

Method
In a pot add rice and salt cover with water just enough to steam add more warm water to it if necessary whilst cooking. Cook for 12 15 minutes when done add spices, peanuts, raisins and dates and mix well.

That is it - Done!! This rice would go great with Curried Chicken or Curried Coconut Shrimp (as shown in the picture below). Remember to put some Coconut Milk in the chicken. Yum!!

Note: Cashew nuts or pistachio can also be added to this recipe.
