I made this rice for the Judeva cookathon, it was good, but there was just something missing, although I increased the turmeric, I think it could have even used more (just personal taste) I also felt it needed more heat. I also added in fresh minced garlic, I will make again, and mabey add in some sliced almonds. Thanks for sharing...Kittencal:)

This was very good. I put all the ingredients in my rice cooker, added more rice, and a touch of orange juice and it turned out delicious. Thanks!

This was a tasty and pretty rice dish. My non-onion eating fiance didn't even realize there were onions in it; I couldn't taste them either. The "picky boys" didn't like it, but then, they don't like most things except for pizza and cookies. I enjoyed both the appearance and flavor of this rice. Recipe was made as directed, except that I didn't use the parsley (didn't have any fresh). Thank you for a change of pace from boring old white rice.
