This ia a great recipe i adapted from 'Cooking for Dummies'. I love the sweet and sour taste. (A great side dish for this meal would be baked chicken drumlets seasoned with curry powder)

Steps:
- Prepare the chicken stock- let it simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan and saute the garlic and onion for about 2 minutes.
- Add the rice and tumeric powder to the garlic and onions, and lightly fry the mixture until the rice is yellowed (about 2 minutes).
- Transfer the rice/onion/garlic mixture to a small pot, then add raisins, lemon slice, and salt to the mixture.
- Add the chicken stock into the rice mixture, making sure that there isn't too much or too little liquid (the liquid level should be about 1 inch above the rice level) Bring mixture to a boil, then bring to low heat, allowing to simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Stir occasionally to prevent the rice at the bottom from getting burnt.
- Mix in remaining ingredients (cinammon, parsley, tomato, pepper).
- Serve warm.

[email protected]This rice pilaf was a disaster! The rice was mushy and the flavors were all wrong. I don't know what went wrong, but I will not be trying this recipe again.

[email protected]Not bad, but not great. I thought the raisins were a bit too sweet for my taste, and the tomatoes were a bit too tart. I would probably make this again, but I would adjust the ingredients to my liking.

[email protected]Meh, not impressed. I thought the flavors were bland and the rice was overcooked. I wouldn't make this again.
