ReplyDeleteI've been making so many rice side dishes lately, and this one sounds so simple and delicious. I love basmati rice!
ReplyDeleteRice is one of those comfort foods that we just love - I've never made basmati rice, though. We do mostly brown rice - Joe recently requested wild rice, which I will soon make for him. I agree with everyone else - this looks like it would compliment so many dishes and I'm sure it's yummy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Slightly Indulgent Mondays!
