  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!

  Lovely way to cook rice. Nice yellow colour, cooked it longer so the rice was not crunchy. Cooled the leftover mixture quickly and had it cold next day with a salad - yummy!

  Lovely rice. I also cooked it for a few minutes longer to avoid any crunch - but I think there may have been no need so next time I'll follow the recipe exactly.

  Really easy - comes out perfect every time! Added a few more raisins than the recipe suggests but then needed to slightly reduce the sugar as a bit too sweet. Makes a quick supper seem just a little bit special with hardly any effort!
