Pop Masala Rice
The pop masala is inspired by the panch phoran, the 5-spice masala from Bengal. We added a couple of more spices for balance and the spice is best used when popped in hot oil and then added to food at the end or the beginning of cooking. We added the zest of two oranges to the rice, but you could either leave this out or replace it with lemon or lime zest. It’s important to rinse and soak the rice for at least 2 hours.
