Pilaf With Peas And Raisins

    Cuisine:

    This was made, not by me, but by one of my students from India. I supervised. This is a lushious dish. The only changes made was using cumin powder instead of seeds and blanched almonds for cashews. Just a hint...be careful of hot oil spitting. This turned out so pretty and is now in my Make Again cookbook!

    Pilaf With Peas and Raisins,The raisins will plump up sweet and full of the flavors, the cashews will give crunch and the peas will lend additional color and sweetness. One of my favorites from Yamunda Devi’s “The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking”. Not being a vegetarian I think it is great with a chicken curry and a mixed salad.,This was made, not by me, but by one of my students from India. I supervised. This is a lushious dish.
