Hello lovelies, I’m happy to present 2 more recipes in cooperation with Alnatura to you this time with the delicious Alnatura Basmati Rice. We keep it exotic after testing the Coco-Drink (you can find the recipes here). Exotic suits us well, we really like Asian Food and rice is always a part of it. Did you know that Basmati in Hindi means “fragrance”? And so basmati rice is often called fragrant rice. It is a distinctly aromatic rice actually originated in Afghanistan. Basmati is regarded as the most precious kind of rice worldwide and the best and most nutrient kinds are from India and Pakistan.
Basmati rice comes from India and is cultivated according to organic guidelines. I was creative with this tasty rice that develops a delicate fragrance once cooked – and turned it into two completely different recipes.
Rice donuts
At first I made fun rice donuts: cooked basmati rice pressed into a donut mold, turned out and topped sweet or savory just as you like. They are a playful eye-catcher my kids adore – and thanks to the many topping and dip ideas, every donut becomes a little work of art. I’ve put the full recipe with all the toppings and dips together for you as its own recipe.
The second recipe is a tasty parfait that you can easily create with the remaining rice.I’m not quite sure how you handle it but I tend to always cool too much rice and therefore I’m grateful for any ideas what to do with all the left over rice. I was inspired to create this parfait by sticky rice with mango, that we ate a lot in Thailand and that I liked very much.
You can enjoy this parfait for breakfast, as a snack or even a dessert. And I recommend to eat all layers together, so that the delicious taste of the delicate basmati rice, the sweet mango and the coconut strawberries come into their own.
If you like sweet breakfast and dessert ideas that are easy to prep ahead, take a look at my sweet quinoa with apple compote and the creamy chia pudding basic recipe. And to match the fruity mango note of this parfait, i can recommend my vegan mango and raspberry ice cream as a summery dessert.
This post is a paid partnership with Alnatura – the recipes and my opinion are my own. *
