A simple and easy Yellow Rice dish, that is the perfect side dish to any meal.

This is my sister and I favorite type of rice.

So I am pretty sure we are not the only ones who loves it.

The taste and color of the rice is just beautiful.

My Yellow Rice Recipe is one of those rice that you can eat all by itself, because of all the flavors and herbs in it.

Yes, I was guilty of buying store bought version before and there is nothing wrong with that.

But the very moment I discovered how to make my very own Yellow Rice, I quit buying them.

When you know exactly what you are eating in your food, your body will smile and thank you.

The aroma that it gives off while it is cooking is so divine.

The combination of all the spices, herbs and flavors makes you don’t want to never go back to store bought yellow rice, when you can make your very own.

What is Yellow Rice?

Yellow Rice is a popular yellow colored rice that is preferred by the Indians, Spanish, as well as those living in the Caribbean.

It is often made by mixing long grain white rice or brown rice with some turmeric to give it that yellow color.

Another recipe that I have used turmeric powder in is my Jamaican Beef Patty and if you want even more you can also make this Jamaican Coco Bread to go with it too.
