Sweet Peshwari Rice

Submitted by PinkCherryBlossom

"Peshwari naans are naan breads filled with coconut and raisin and are divine! Here the rice is cooked with the same ingredients to make a sweet rice which goes very well with curries such as Korma. Feel free to add more almonds and sultanas if you are partial to them."
