Tried this recipe for my in-laws and I was disappointed. The rice did not cook in the time it gave. I ended up having to add a lot more water and boiling it till tender enough to eat. Gave the whole dish a very mushy texture. However the taste was good. But if you are going to make this, plan on extra cooking time. and probally add water slowly not wanting to burn it.
