Like Anu, I too loved this rice. The only thing that I omitted in this was the hot red pepper sauce. The garnishing of this rice with the corriander sprigs made it even more presentable- it looked like a fruit pulao, and when I served it piping hot, it was really very well enjoyed. The almonds did add richness and a great crunch as well to this rice. I'll try cashewnuts for a change next time. This recipe is "Definitely" a keeper! Thank U,Tish, for sharing it. -
I brown bagged this for lunch today, and enjoyed every bite of it! I was probably really sleepy when I made it, because I used a pear instead of a peach, even though I had over a dozen peaches on hand. I like the gentle sweetness of this dish, which is mild enough so that this can serve as a main dish. The slivered almonds add a wonderful crunch, and I'd like to try it with peanut or walnuts or even cashews, for that added bit of richness! Thanks Tish, this one's a keeper! -
I could become addicted to this rice. I'll make it again and again. I did use cashews and a mix of brown and white rice. This recipe has a great layering of flavors; sweet, tangy and hot. Terrific! -
Delicious recipe, although I did have to increase the amount of hot sauce, and I used soy sauce instead of salt. I also added some chopped spinach like I usually do with fried rice. All in all, this one's a definite keeper- thanks for sharing! -
This is really bad. Bland and tasteless.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
