Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute cumin seeds for black cumin seeds, and lemons for limes.

    Again, I made a very similar recipe based on this recipe. To save time, I boiled the rice with the spices instead - sssh!

    I made a very similar recipe to this using a readymade spice blend. I used the back-of-the-packet recipe & it turned out delicious, however, unfortunately, the texture was technically incorrect, because the grains should all be separate. Mine came out more like risotto, mainly because I used brown basmati & must have added too much water for it. I am trying to switch away from white basmati permanently, so I will persevere with experiments until I get it right with brown basmati. Next time, I'll try presoaking the rice for longer, be more generous with the oil, & be bolder about not stirring it & adding much less water.
