Nutty Basmati Pilaf

    I made it with Brown Basmati rice, so I actually doubled the seasoning due to the additional volume of rice and water. It was really nice and froze well in portions, too.

    Nutty Basmati Pilaf,Nutty, slightly sweet in flavor, this rice pilaf dish beautifully complements any Indian meal. Translated from “Cocina Tradicional India” by Rafi Fernandez.,I made it with Brown Basmati rice, so I actually doubled the seasoning due to the additional volume of rice and water. It was really nice and froze well in portions, too.,Although I did not use the spice blend recommended, I wanted to leave a review. I did not believe that you could cook this rice in ten minutes – but I did and the results were perfect. Tender, fluffy rice. The water to rice ratio was perfect. used garlic and onion and they flavored it nicely. I was having a strongly seasoned meat so I wanted the fragrant rice, but no spice competition. Superb recipe. Next time, I’ll add the spices.
