I've been making this rice dish for quite some time now, and it's one of my favourites.It's an interesting combination of tastes and textures that I find pleasing to the palate.I toast the cashews first to give them a little extra crunch.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The dish was still very flavorful and delicious. The cashews and raisins added a nice touch.

This recipe was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more liquid. The cashews and raisins were a nice touch though.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still very flavorful and delicious. The cashews added a nice crunch.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I should have used less raisins. The cashews were a nice touch though.
