Directions
- Bring 2 quarts water to a boil, stir in Indian Harvest Basmati Blend™. Bring back to a boil, then reduce to a simmer covered for 12 minutes or until liquid is gone. Cool rice immediately.
- To make the dressing, whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, salt and sugar in a separate bowl and reserve.
- Once rice is cool, mix all ingredients except turkey until thoroughly blended. Chill before assembling the pita.
- Layer the turkey in the pita before stuffing with the curried Basmati Blend™, or dice the turkey and mix with the rice for a salad application if desired.
