Basmati Rice – Indian Style

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I put it in my rice cooker after toasting the rice - great flavors but it was a little more watery than I would have liked. Next time I will reduce the water a bit. Also added diced carrots to the rice cooker and frozen peas at the end to make it more like the rice we get at our local Indian restaurant.
