Nice change. I just used water, cold pressed olive oil to be healthy, freshly ground black pepper to taste, sea salt, Indian white basmati rice, plus the rest of the ingredients. I may make this again preferably with home-made chicken stock.

I remember my best friend used to cook this kind of rice for me every time I came to visit. I can't believe I finally found the recipe! The best rice I ever tasted. Thanks for the recipe.

This was a great rice. I followed the recipe directions without variation and used four cups of reduced sodium chicken broth. This makes a lot and I used it for dinner for two nights. The first night I served it with recipe #152284 and recipe #73708 and had more than enough to have it the next night with recipe #84324 and still have some leftover. Next time I may halve the recipe but it was fantastic and is sure to become a regular feature in our house. Thanks for posting!
