This dish complimented your Apricot/Lemon Chicken recipe #143365. I think the rice needs to be served with a dish that has a nice flavorful sauce to spoon over. I did use brown basmati rice which increased the cooking time. The technique with allowing the rice to rest results in a nice fluffy rice dish.
