So delicious, made this a bunch of times. Can’t wait to enjoy it again tomorrow with middle eastern drumsticks.
Hi, going to make this first time tonight. Question…. can you use Jasmine rice instead of basmati??
Looking forward to trying this one 🙂 is there anything that I could use as a substitute for nigella seeds, as they are proving difficult to acquire in my little town!
So delicious! Made this loads of times. Even my only-plain-pasta-eating turdler will eat It!
1st time making, and definitely not the last time to enjoy! I don’t have sultanas and thought about subbing diced dates, but went without. This dish is just lovely!
What are nigella seeds?
Fabulous rice recipe! Well done Nik!
Made this last night to serve with the quick lamb curry from THM… Absolutley delicious. Will be making this again.
Did this with the same amount of snipped dried apricots to sub for sultanas to serve with lamb chops and broccoli, it was deliciously tangy!!
Does this taste like coconut rice bought from a Thai shop? I’m in love with that sort but every time I’ve tried to make it have been really disappointed as it’s tasted nice but not what I’ve been after, haven’t tried in thermo yet, does it taste like bought stuff?
Love this dish! Goes great with the Zaatar chicken and minted yoghurt sauce!
Made this tonight to go with your Chicken Tikka Masala. The rice is just so easy to make and is so versatile to accompany any curry. I topped it with your Tzatzaki which was simply delicious! 5 star recipe. Thanks Nik.
Hi, can you clarify ‘steaming temp’ please
Varoma
Loved this. Easy to make, and looked even better than I expected. Favourite in this household
Just beautiful. I served this with the Tandoori chicken. So easy, and so much flavour. Thank you!!!!
Beautiful dish to accompany any curry. Everyone in my house raved about it. Very easy to make and turned out perfect the first time.
Jody can I buy a hard copy of your curries book please. How do I do it. Thanks Marilyn
Absolutely love this recipe!! We always have it with the Butter Chicken, simply devine thank you!!!!
This was so yummy, served it with your bc. Perfect! My kids also loved the ‘yellow rice’ 🙂
This is so so delicious and easy to make!! Had it with skinnymixers Thai green curry.
Oh my gosh – I served this tonight as a side for your butter chicken and it was divine! Even super fussy Master 7 enjoyed it!!
Made this tonight and served with Bhuna Gosht and Garlic Cheese & Spinach Naan! Only me so I halved the recipe, it tastes awesome and so easy. Delicious thanks Nik!
Another one for me to try. I don’t have a thermie though so I am adapting for usual cooking methods. Fingers crossed.
Sounds great! Will try tonight! 🙂
