Nasi Kunyit uses glutinous rice that is steamed with coconut milk, banana leaves and turmeric, the last of which gives it its bright yellow colour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Having a pot of bright yellow dish at the dining table symbolises abundance, good wealth and good health. As such, Nasi Kunyit is an especially apt dish to use to serve one&#8217;s guests during festive seasons and celebratory occasions, such as the upcoming Hari Raya Puasa in August. Making this dish is therefore my way of giving toast and cheers to all the Muslims who will soon be celebrating the breaking of fast.
