I've just finished cooking this and I'm eating it now. What an amazing find, and as you've hinted in the other comments so easy to make slight variations and still be good. This will definitely be a staple for me now.

I tried this recipe out tonight and absolutely loved it. It was so easy to prepare and was so full of flavour. I added cumin and mustard seeds for a bit of extra flavour. Will definitely make this again. Thank you!

Great recipe, I was surprised how easy it was to make too!

We added chopped herbs at the end and had it with chicken peri peri - delicious!

In reply to Beth. I'm glad you enjoyed it Beth. With this recipe just about any vegetable goes. I use it as a clear out the fridge type meal. It's perfect for using veggies that are just passed their best. Greens like kale and spinach are particularly good in it, just stir them through 5 minutes before serving because they don't need much cooking. And mushrooms too. As for spices, you can do a curry version with curry powder instead of turmeric and smoked paprika and maybe throw in some golden raisins or sultanas and a sprinkle of flaked almonds to serve. Cumin works well. A mix of cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, and turmeric would be nice, a bay leaf tucked in there as it cooks would be lovely. There's saffron, thyme and oregano too. It's a really good recipe to make your own! Hope that helps!

I omitted the red pepper flakes, used just one red bell pepper because the pepper was huge, and I forgot to add in the frozen peas, but the rice dish was still very tasty.

I used basmati rice and once the lid was on, it took 20 minutes to cook and for the rice to absorb nearly all the water. I stirred occasionally and the rice didn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pot!

The recipe is totally delicious as is, but I would love to know if you have any spice/seasoning suggestions for how to change this up flavor-wise. (Maybe even other vegetable combinations). I'm just not good at spice pairings and things like that.

Unfortunately this was not a hit with my family or myself. Combination of flavors and textures were not appealing despite our love for spicy dishes.
