The people at the fair were leaving because the lights were going out. The last two people in Dodgem cars also left as it was getting dark. The big wheel stopped and the merry-go-round had already stopped. The stalls closed down and the stall owners went home. At 2:00 a.m. four night watchmen walked around the funfair to see if there was anyone to be seen. 'I'm fed up working around,'' one of them said, 'what can we do as there is nothing we can do?' 'We can sit and talk.' They were bored because there was nothing to do on that quiet warm night. 'We can have a ride on the merry-go-round!' one of them cried. 'That'll be fun!' Three of them jumped on merry-go-round horses, so the fourth started at the motor. Then he jumped on too and round they went. They were having the time of their lives. Suddenly, they realized there was no one to stop the machine because all of them were on it. They weren't rescued till morning, so they felt very sick indeed!

Pulau, my favorite food, is a special dish prepared on various occasions such as marriage parties, anniversaries, and birthday celebrations. Made primarily of rice and carrots, pulau often becomes the central attraction among other dishes. It is typically enjoyed with gravy, meat, and curry, enhancing its rich flavors. Most people prefer it due to its delightful taste and versatility, making it a cherished choice at festive gatherings.

Ingredients:

·         1 cup long-grain rice (such as Basmati)

·         2 tablespoons butter or olive oil

·         1 small onion, finely chopped, chopped carrot

·         2 cloves garlic, minced

·         2 cups chicken or vegetable soup

·         1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

·         1/4 teaspoon black pepper

·         1 bay leaf (optional)

·         1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional, for color)

·         1/4 cup toasted almonds or pine nuts (optional, for garnish)

·         Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions of recipe

1.     Rinse the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.

2.     Fry Aromatics: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes soft and glowing about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3.     Toast the Rice: Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir well to coat the rice with the butter and oil. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice starts to turn a light golden color.

4.     Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the broth, then add the salt, pepper, bay leaf, and turmeric (if using). Stir to combine.

5.     Cook the Rice: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

6.     Rest the Rice: Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5-10 minutes. This allows the steam to finish cooking the rice and makes it softer.

7.     Fluff and Serve: Remove the bay leaf (if used) and fluff the rice with a fork. Transfer to a serving dish and gravy with toasted almonds or pine nuts and chopped parsley if desired.
