Great flavor! Basmati and onion-who knew? I cooked the onion is some water instead of butterWhen it was time to add the cumin seed I discovered that I don't seem to have any. So, I used corriander seed and the whole thing worked out really well for me. I cut the amount to a single serving and have enough for 2 generous servings. I'm glad that I have some for tomorrow! I served this with garlic and herb chicken and baby carrots and okra cooked together.

made this recipe for the photo swap, but we didn't care for this dish at all. I think it was just a matter of our tastes, not the recipe (which is why I'm not leaving any stars). We love onion, but this was just way too much onion flavor for us and we didn't eat it. Sorry! I plan to try more of your recipes though, as I'm sure this was just a matter of personal taste.

<br>I can?t think of anything more relaxing than drooling over cookbooks..... I love 'em all; well the ones with pictures are at the top of my list. I have a huge collection of fundraiser type cookbooks from schools and country towns from all around Australia. These books contain many tried and true old-fashioned family favourites.
