"This recipe has been submitted for play in ZWT8 - India. This recipe was found on Indian Food Forever. Rice is another of those Internations dishes. I love rice dishes and am always on the look out for new ones to prepare. I am lucky that my picky dh loves rice also and is willing to try them. This one promises to be tasty. Use as much salt and pepper as you desire."

Absolutely fantastic rice!!! So flavorful and great texture with the added nuts!!! I didn't have any leftover (already cooked) rice, so made some an hour or so before dinner and then chilled it. I served this with recipe#484924, green beans and garlic bread and even picky 20 yo DS loved this meal!!! Thanks my friend for another great recipe. Made for ZWT8.
