  1. I made this for dinner tonight and my guests ate it to the last grain! It was extremely tasty and a dish like this makes me very glad, i.e., when there are few, easy to remember ingredients and the taste is "To die for" :) I used a tsp. of salt as well in step 2. Also, I used a tbsp. of oil and allowed the cumin seeds to splutter in that. It was just GREAT! Thanks!
     
  2. I served this rice dish this evening with our fish and it was delicious! I didn't have Cumin Seeds on hand so I substituted a very reduced amound of ground cumin seed. I added a couple tablespoons of butter and some salt with the freshly squeezed lemon juice. I will definitely prepare this again! We loved it!
     
  3. I used 2/3 cup of brown rice with 1 1/3 cup of broth, and did everything else as written. I also added 1/2 tbsp of butter at the end and this made for an amazing side dish. Definitely something to be made again.
     
  4. I made this to accompany a mild curry, everyone liked it. Next time, I think I would grind the cumin seeds. The whole spices could be a little bitter when biting into them, but overall it was very nice. I rinsed the Basmati and let it sit in the colander while the water came to a boil. It came out perfectly separate and fluffy. I might add lemon zest next time for a bit of extra lemony kick.
     
  5. Quite good. I left out the peas and lemon juice and added caramelized onions. I served it with grilled asparagus and zucchini. No leftovers.
