Very nice funeral rice! I liked this recipe a lot, it was fluffy and was a wonderful colour. I like the addition of cardamom in this type of South African rice, but the cinnamon was a nice change! Made for the Asia tempted by Tumeric tag game. Thanks Sccuddlers! FT:-) -
This recipe is kind of like a pilaf (rice dish) and I served it with my Tagine Argana Recipe #285688. Remember to soak the raisins in hot water for 20 min before adding to the rice so that they plump up nicely.
