Notes
Wash rice till water runs clear to avoid sticky rice.
Use chicken broth as stated but where that is not available, replace with stock cubes like maggi, knorr or oxo plus water.
Adjust cayenne pepper to how spicy you'd like the rice.
For vegetable curried rice, follow the directions as above but add vegetables (1 cup of mixed vegetables like carrots, peas, sweetcorn) when adding the washed rice in the pot.
