I don’t see the recipe

Never mind

Perfect. I was doubting the volume of water which is half the usual ratio to rice but it works fine. Will try a few spice variations for sure.

question

Can you substitute the basmati rice for white rice?

Sorry, does one start with cooked rice?

Hi, thanks for your question. This recipe uses raw/uncooked basmati rice. It should cook in the time stated (but the last 5 minutes covered is important). We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
