BAKED BASMATI RICE
I do not like rice, but I love it this way! This is the only way I will eat it. This recipe is a spin from observing my mom's Iranian friend preparing Basmati on a stove, he added the chicken stock and I thought it added such a great flavour. My sister always prepares rice in the oven with chopped onions and green peppers, so I tried the Basmati that way. I usually serve it with Tikka Masala on top. *Note* This rice is supposed to be "al dente", that s why less water is used.

BASMATI RICE CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Cook rice according to package directions. Puree tomatoes and 1/2 onion in a blender until there are no lumps or chunks. This took seconds in my magical Vitamix. Set aside. Dice the other half of the onion and sauté in oil for about 5 minutes. Add in cauliflower and chickpeas and heat for another 5 minutes. Pour in tomato onion puree, which will be a gorgeous pink color. Simmer and add greens, a few handfuls at a time so they have a chance to wilt. Mix in garam masala, turmeric and salt. Simmer for another 10 minutes. At the end of cooking, mix in raisins and cashews. Scoop rice into a bowl and top it with the veggie mixture.
