Phil have you got a rice fetish mate 
No, but you can hardly say that this doesn't represent rice perfection, can you ?!
Thanks,I was particularly pleased with the pilau rice.Apart from one takeaway I use,I'm afraid the standard of most pilau round my way is really average.I do like a bit of colour in my rice which most places don't seem to do anymore.OK I know it adds nothing flavour wise but it certainly looks better.
In fact I always struggled cooking perfect rice.Even with some so called 'fool proof' recipes I invariably ended up with a big clump of soggy rice.The rice was cooked on the hob and was indeed finished in the oven,if anyone is interested I'll post my recipe.
