  I made this for 10 people, to go with a cremy-textured curry, and it was brilliant! The texture of the large, crunchy cashews with the sweetness of the sultanas went really well with savoury onion, and it looks very jumbled and interesting next to a simple-looking but highly flavoured curry dish.

  Fantastic recipe - very simple and dead tasty. Cooking rice is always a disaster for me - but NOT ANY MORE!

  Without doubt the best rice accompaniment I have ever had with a curry and will now be the firm favourite. We loved it - I even had leftovers on its own cold for lunch the next day. It was easy to make although I did use basmati cooked the Delia way (cup of rice in a hot pan, add 1 tbsp oil to cover rice, add the tumeric add 2 cups boiling water and the cinnamon stick, then simmer on lowest heat until cooked but keep an eye on it - may need more water and the tumeric seemed to make it prone to sticking). I threw in a handful of peas to add colour. Fabulous web site by the way!

  Stunning rice dish. Really good flavours - great on its own but lovely with a big bowl of lamb saag.

  This the closest recipe to pilau rice that i've found and i was very pleased with the result. I didn't add the sultanas and cashew nuts this time (as not suitable on my diet) but added peas instead. I served it with a chicken madras curry and it was a huge success.
