A delicious rice made for ZWT3. We used basmati rice and loved the blend of spices in this simple side dish. Thanks Rita.

Sorry...but I didn't like it. Too much cumin, and not that great in taste.

I made 3 servings of this for lunch today. I used oil instead of butter and vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. This rice is great served with yogurt. Tastes wonder(flavour)ful! Thanks Zaar, your the BEST!

This is fantastic, and so quick & easy! I too used basmati rice, oil (not butter) and veg stock, to make it vegan. Very nice with fresh diced tomatoes.
