About

A good-quality basmati rice has such an exquisite fragrance and flavour in its own right that you don’t want to mess with it too much. This recipe, which we’ve always served with the tofu-cashew fritters, simply adds a few subtle flavours which go well with the coconut-stewed vegetables that also accompany the fritters.
