I saw this and thought give it a try, I was a bit concerned about the amount of water but my this is the best rice I have ever made and it is 100% better then the 3 local takeaways I have tried in my area!!!  Brilliant recipe easy to follow and does come out brilliantly!! Thank you for sharing.

Cooked my rice using this method last night ready for tonights meal Even though the recipe isnt all that different from the 1 I already use, the addition of minced garlic/ginger is new to me, I am delighted with the results. Firm rice full of flavour without the hassle of the absorbtion method. Happy Dayz

This is perfect rice for me and it freezes and defrosts better than fresh !

Massive thanks, it was terrific

I have used the absorption method for donkey's years when making basmati rice, but I've never made pilau rice before last night. This is an excellent recipe and it is so easy to make with the minimum of effort. The beauty of the method for me is the ability to make a large batch of perfect pilau rice and store/freeze it without any loss of taste or consistency. Another cracker, CA!

Glad that it worked for you, guys

Thanks for the clear instructions.

I used everything on your list apart from g/g and curry leaves and it turned out great.

Just cooked it initially for 5 mins as using other recipes my rice has come out sticky, probably due to overcooking.
