Umm...yes! This is incredible! Did everything just as the recipe called for, except used ground cardamom in place of the seeds. It was hard to stop eating this. I served it with the Indian Tomato Chicken recipe listed on this site and me and fam (including husband and 3 little kids) were in heaven. I'm not sure what to say about folks who found it bland. I thought it was anything but. Subtle, maybe, but REALLY tasty. Eat it as a side dish to make sure you get enough "flavor" out of your dinner! (By the way, I'd cut the recipe in half next time - this is two dinners' worth of rice for a family of 5.)

The towel on the top threw me off and I overcooked the rice. Check before the 20 minutes. Like the other reviewer I felt it was a little bland or missing something. Itlooked gorgeous as it was sauteing and the aroma was wonderful-but that first bite let me down. Perhaps I did something wrong.

Excellent served with Indian Chicken Curry II. I used basmati rice instead of white rice.

It wasn't bad, but wasn't as good as I'd hoped!.. Lots of effort! Makes a lot too! Luckily I also made plain steamed rice and it was better with my main course. Cooks up somewhat dry, probably because the towel soaks up extra steam in the pot.

Finally an awesome Indian rice recipe! It was absolutely awesome! My husband also loved it and I'm keeping this recipe handy! I used the saffron AND the ground turmeric (the turmeric was put in with the other spices). I also added a chicken bullion cube to the spices and it turned out awesome!!!! It was good enough to eat by itself.

The rice was good, but a little bland. Unfortunately, I didn't have any cardamon pods, so that didn't help at all. I halved the recipe, but next time I'll just halve the rice and water and keep the extra spices.

I laughed at the comment from the woman whose husband ate from the pot after dinner, but low and behold, I caught my husband doing the same thing later that night!!!

This was a good recipe. We did not know exactly what to expect but thought it was slightly bland but otherwise had a great texture. I served it with garbanzos and chicken curry and it was wonderful. Thanks!

This recipe got RAVE reviews from my middle eastern husband. After dinner he was eating it directly from the pot. It's the real thing for sure. I didn't have shortening so I used butter and a touch of olive oil. I was really unsure about the cloth bit but I just tried it with a doubled tea towl under the lid. I'm glad I did.
