Wow. WOW! That is the only word coming to mind at the moment! This rice is absolutely fabulous. I'll admit... I had long grain rice already made in the fridge that I desperately needed to use before it wasnt fresh anymore. First, I will say that basmati would have really made this above and beyond. Its hard to even imagine it could be any better, but basmati would have made it so. For veggies, I used peas, caramelized onions and cauliflower. Yes....cauliflower. I know my choice of veggies might be strange, but the flavors were AMAZING. I used what I had on hand and it worked out quite well. The only thing I added extra as far as spices are concerned was just a small shake of cumin seeds..and they went SO well. The cashew nuts added a great flare to the texture aspect of this dish. Thank you SO much for this recipe. I will definitely make this again, and would serve it to guests for sure.

Splendid! I halved this recipe and made it today for lunch. I used a combo of the following vegetables:carrots, greenpeas, mushrooms and tofu. The combination of the masalas was very nice- not spicy and really good. I started off with heating oil in a skillet, then added a chopped onion and the garlic. Stir-fried till the onion was golden-brown and the raw smell of garlic was gone. Then, added in all the vegetables alongwith 5-6 mint(pudina) leaves and cooked for about 5-6 minutes. Then, added in the masalas, mixed well, added rice, a tsp. of basil(dried), 1/4 tsp. of oregano(dried), 1/2 tsp. of rosemary(dried) and 4 cups of Maggi vegetable broth with onions. Brought it to a boil, then reduced heat and partially covered and cooked it till done. I garnished it with 2-3 pudina leaves. Tasted wonderful served HOT!

Very good! I used Jasmine rice, as that is the only kind I had on hand. Used frozen mixed veggies (corn,peas,carrots)and raisans. I then added some diced up sauted chicken. That way it made a meal-in-one and was enough to serve my family of four and have leftovers for tomorrows lunch. The spice blend was very nice and aromatic. Very tasty. One I'll definatly make again. ONE TIP: I hate sticky/mushy fried rice. So, in order for the rice not to stick together, I pre-cooked it yesterday, fluffed it, covered and put it in the fridge until today, when I needed it. Chilling it makes it easily crumbled and loose enough to thouroughly mix the spices, veggies, etc.

This was a great way to use up some leftover rice that would otherwise have found its way into the trash. I used peas, bellpeppers, diced potatoes and carrots in mine. Lovely flavors and very easy to make.

First recipe like this I've tried and it was soooo good. I'd recommend it anytime and anywhere. Did use butter as I didn't have ghee and it worked well.

This rice is so delightful & delicious!! I haven't actually prepared it as fried rice yet. Both times I've made it, I just cooked the spices a bit in ghee and stirred it into the rice along with some peas and cashews. Yum!! I'm sure frying it all would add nice texture and will get around to trying that as well soon. Thanks for a great recipe!

Thank you for this recipe! I was looking for a rice dish (using cooked rice) to serve with my Moroccan Chicken and this was just what I was looking for! Just the right balance of spice, salt, and sweet.
