Fabulous! Lots of flavor with a minimum of work. All present gave it a 5* review. -
This is a great rice dish with some heat to it! I used regular onions and tomatoes and fresh green chilies, and this made a fantastic lunch with a small cup of curds (yogurt). -
This was a lovely accompaniment to Denise in NH's Recipe#25394 - Roquefort Chicken Breast - a great combination! Thank you Terri!
