This rice was wonderful. Lots of flavor and texture with the cashews and raisins. Easy to make and delicious. It is even better the next day. I will certainly be making this again.

Wow, this is tasty! And very easy to make! I added ~1/2c. onions for extra flavor and I think it helped. I also made sure to rehydrate my raisins as best I could before they went into the rice (covered in boiling water for ~10 min, drained). Everyone enjoyed and it was gone between the 6 of us. Next time I'll add onions and maybe mushrooms, too. Thanks Michelle!

This is the tastiest rice I've had to date! I don't like raisins or nuts in my Indian dishes though so I leave those out along with the chili flakes because I have young children eating it. I LOVE this rice!

i used Golden Raisins and Roasted Garlic & Bell Pepper seasoning blend from McCormick, a Pinch. Served with Citrus Grilled Chicken and stir fried Broccoli with onion,red and yellow bell peppers. Delicious addition. My 13 year old had 2nds and when I told her it had coconut milk in the recipe I got a "your a cool Mom" look. thanks for the great alternative to plain old rice.

Sunday nights, I usually go all out. It's family night. Instead of going out to a restaurant, I love cooking at home. I love creating or simply looking up a great recipe on allrecipes.com. I decided to try "Indian". I made chicken tikka masala and I tried this recipe. It was great. I also made naan bread, cucumber raita and mango chutney. My family was so impressed. This rice recipe was so full of flavor and mild at the same time. Great Recipe

This was great, very flavorful. I did add 1/2 teaspoon of both curry and cinnamon. Left out the oil and didn't miss it. Also used light coconut milk. Served with Grilled Chicken Thighs Tandoori with was also fantastic.

I used sliced almonds in place of cashews and purple raisins rather than golden because that's what I had. It was very tasty!

I loved the way this turned out. I think that it was a wonderful complement to our Indian Themed dinner. I served this with Chicken Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken) and Naan from this site. I highly recommend it.

If you are looking for a good Indian rice , you have found it. I had never made Indian rice before so wanted to try a recipe that wouldn't be too spicey. This was delicious and very creamy with the addition of the coconut milk. I had plenty left over for 2 more meals . One I added chicken and hope to use the other left over rice with another Indian vegetable recipe. This is really delicious , if you haven't tried basmati rice before here is your chance.

Great rice dish! I used jasmine rice (rinsed well), and a handful of dried cranberries too. I also omitted the cashews... Great addition to our meal!

Didn't have everything on the list, but it turned out great anyway. Very rich because of the coconut milk. Served it with Tikka Masala, Nann and some Indian sauces/chutnies...very impressive. Thanks!

Pretty tasty. But it's missing something. The flavor, honestly, is a bit bland, except when you bit into a raisin. I think I'll try the onion/garlic suggestion next time. BTW, this recipe makes A LOT so be sure you adjust for the size of the crowd you're feeding.
