this was great! I omitted the whole cloves and increased the onion and garlic amount, I used chicken broth and seasoned salt, thanks for sharing Rita!

first time i tryed this i used a stock pot, bad idea, a deep pan worked alot better. it took less time and was alot fluffier. this is great rice!!!!! i just wouldnt use a pot again.

The taste of this rice was phenomenal. My husband wouldn't stop raving about it! For some reason it didn't cook enough in the time indicated so I'll just have to try it again!
