Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
3 teaspoons minced garlic
3 teaspoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
1 cup basmati rice
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 10-ounce package frozen baby lima beans, unthawed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix yogurt and 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic in small bowl. Cover and chill 1 hour. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add rice; stir until coated with oil, about 2 minutes. Add curry powder, turmeric and 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic and stir 1 minute. Add 2 cups water and salt and bring to boil. Add lima beans. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool. Stir in remaining olive oil.
