Looks a lovely rice Matt. Great pics.

Cooked in 4 mins - I agree. I cook my pilau rice with similar ingredients just differently and with less hassle. In short 125g basmati rice soaked in cold water for 30 mins. Boil about a pint of water throw in a few cloves and green cardamoms, tbs fennel seeds and a cinnamon stick. Drain the soaked rice, chuck into boiling pan and cook for 4 mins. Rinse immediately in cold water to stop any further cooking. Add a sprinkle of saffron strands. Then when required re-heat in microwave for 90 secs. Stir and serve. Perfect tasty results every time.
