Bring water to a boil
Wash rice quickly, do not soak
In cooking pot add vegetable oil and cinammon sticks
Add drained rice and salt, stir until rice is coated in oil
Add hot water
Cover with air tight lid
If you do not have air tight lid take afew pages of newspaper, wet them, place them over Sufuria and cover. This traps the steam inside. And the rice cooks well.
In a cup mix the food color and the tbsp of water. When the rice is cooked open lid and pour over in a random pattern, cover for two mins.
Turn off fire. Using fork rake through the rice to reveal a beautiful mixture of colored rice.
Serve with favorite stew. I served mine with beef curry
