Madras rice

Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.
Madras rice : Stage 1
Rinse 300 g egg-plant or aubergine and cut into fairly thick slices.

As you can see in the photo, I am using the delicious, long, purple aubergines that are sometimes available. I find them more interesting than the usual dark variety.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 8 min.
Madras rice : Stage 2
Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil into a large frying pan on high heat. When really hot, add the sliced aubergines.

Brown on both sides, then salt and pepper at the end of cooking.

Set aside.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.
Madras rice : Stage 3
Use the same pan to fry the ham on both sides.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.
Madras rice : Stage 4
Still using the same pan, without washing it (to make the most of the cooking juices left), pour in 250 g liquid cream.

Bring to the boil while deglazing the bottom of the pan thoroughly, then add 1 tablespoon curry powder and mix well.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 1 min.
Madras rice : Stage 5
Add 400 g cooked rice and mix well...

Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 min.
Madras rice : Stage 6
...then leave to reduce a little until the rice has absorbed most of the cream.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 2 min.
Madras rice : Stage 7
Finish by adding the ham and aubergines.

Stage 8
Madras rice : Stage 8
Serve without delay.
Remarks
If you find the curry flavour a bit too strong for your liking, you can use turmeric on its own instead.

This recipe is a great classic from Franche-Comté (area of eastern France). A Mont-dor cheese (from this area) is oven cooked in its wooden box with a little dry white wine, and served melted over baked potatoes. It's a dish for a winter evening meal with friends, very easy to prepare, everything goes on the table around which you are sitting.
