very good, I used 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder instead of the seeds, also added in some cayenne pepper and used turkey broth I keep in the freezer in place of chicken stock, I also sauteed 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic with the onions, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:)

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.

Very tasty - liked the spicing and onion. Good side to an herbal, roasted chicken.

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.

Very nice side dish. I fixed it with black beans and a pork roast. My family loved the taste. I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
