I am loving the flavour of basmati rice right now.
I found another great recipe which is so easy to do on the stove.
Normally I am a fan of the rice cooker however I have noticed that cooking rice on the stove makes the rice a lot fluffier!
Perhaps it is time to upgrade my rice cooker.
I did not include barberries into the recipe as it was difficult to get however it still was absolutely delicious.
You could replace the pistachio for pine nuts or hazelnuts or almonds roasted.
