Charishma, that's a good mood to be in! I, too, was in the mood to cook tonight and so I tried your dish. I followed the instructions to a T except for the bit about adding a little water because I was using a non-stick pan. This beautifully spicy and orange-hued rice dish went perfectly with my Tandoori chicken and a garnish of lettuce leaves, sliced cucumber and a baby red chili. If I were to change one thing it would be to list the ingredients according to order of use. This was my first experience with your recipes Charishma, but I have been eyeing them for a while and you didn't let me down. I look forward to tyring many more!
