Method

Toast the nuts in the oven at 180°C/350°F/Gas 4 for about 10 minutes.
Sauté the onion and garlic in a non-stick pan, stirring constantly, until they are soft and transparent but not coloured.
Add the rice, water, turmeric and a little salt and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer very gently for about 30 minutes until the rice is tender.
