Made 5/23/12: Wonderful!!!!! Could be a side dish for almost anything. Please make again. Didn't use any red pepper, cayenne, onions or gr pepper....had already made once to take to a family so I skipped some....NEXT time either put onion flakes in with spices and use green pepper or use can of mexi corn that has it in it. Did use chili powder in place of red pepper, but would try a little red next go round. Used 1 Can of corn loosely drained....1/2 C tomatoes and 2T ketchup. GREAT

loved it! used sazon spice instead of the tumeric (didn't have tumeric) and a small can of tomato sauce in lieu of the ketchup. Added fresh garlic and chopped cilantro and it was awesome! thx for the post Sandy :)

Not bad. Next time I'll omit the green peppers. I thought this dish was just ok.

I made only one substitution, red peppers instead of green, because I had them on hand and omitted the corn, which I didn't have. I have to agree with Newcook, the turmeric and catsup overpowered the dish, masking the other wonderful flavors. That said, I really liked the the look of the dish and how easily it all came together. I will definitely try this again without turmeric and catsup. With the other spices and fresh tomatoes I think this could be a winner. Thanks, Sandy!

the spices overpowered each other - ex: turmeric and ketchup... horrible taste.

Delicious! I made a healthier version with brown rice, extra veggies (mushrooms and spinach), and fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. I also omitted the ketchup as suggested by others and it was not missed. Also used red instead of green onion b/c it was what I had on hand and it was still fabulous. Served with simple grilled salmon.

This was a really good rice dish that even my non-rice eaters liked. I used chili powder instead of the red pepper, and used about 12 oz. of crushed tomatoes instead of the fresh tomatoes and ketchup.
