Thankyou NurseDi.Apart from using all cashews and no raisins, I followed the recipe exactly. It was a good, easy to make, basic pilaf recipe. I found the butter too rich so will substitute olive oil next time. I used 1/2 tsp salt but think it needs 3/4-1 tsp. I also think it needs a stronger injection of spices.
