I made this for dinner tonight as part of a special meal cooked for Gandhi Jayanti(the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of India). I used water this time to cook the rice and salt to taste, but next time I will use Maggi broth and leave out the salt. Broth adds alot of flavour to the dish. My picky eater bro. had the most of this dish than anything else on the table;-) Thanks for the easy recipe!

This is very tasty and low in fat to boot! I used broccoli, carrots, snap peas, baby corn and onion. Used garlic flavored oil, which added some flavor since I didn't have any stock (used the water option). Added some low sodium soy sauce and served with General Tsao's chicken....yum! Thank you so much for a very adaptable recipe.

I made this for Christmas Eve dinner, and, as it turns out, I'll be making it for New Year's Eve dinner as well! Needless to say, we really liked it. I used celery instead of green beans and it was great. Didn't make any other changes. Served it with steamed broccoli and vegetarian "chicken" chunks. Thank you!
