worked with what I had & followed as closely as poss. Both DH and DD enjoyed quite a bit! Want to try again following the recipe a bit closer next time.

I made this rice to go with Tandoori chicken. It was easy to prepare & very tasty. I used only 2 large garlic cloves, 1/2 a sweet onion, a handful of mushrooms & some chopped kale along with the spices & cashews. I always have all these spices on hand so it will be a "go to" recipe, good enough for company, easy enough for every day.

The recipe has a few ingredients I don't usually stock (but have 'em now!), but that just prompted me to try them out! VERY, VERY NICE TASTING RICE, but I'd definitely say this serves 4 very nicely (so the Nutrition Facts are off a bit, what with just 2 servings)! Gave it the full compliment of both chili powder & garlic & it's definitely something to make again! thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in India - More Than Just Curries Tag Game]
