    Very subte taste, the raisins make a tasty addition. Would simmer for perhaps a minute longer than suggested as the rice was slightly too crunchy. I found that stirring the mixture until it boiled created a vibrant yellow colour. Will definitely make again.

    I've made this twice, and Im not the biggest fan - I find it taste a bit too much like a dessert with the sugar and sultanas in it!
