I've tried many basmati rice recipes, but this one is by far the best. The result is always fluffy, fragrant, and full of flavor.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The rice was bland and tasteless.

The rice was a bit too oily for my liking. I'll try using less oil next time.

The fragrant basmati rice was a bit too spicy for my taste. I'll try it again with less chili next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The rice was mushy and flavorless. I'll never make it again.

Not a fan of the cardamom and cloves in the recipe. I'll try it again without those spices next time.

The rice was a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I might add a little extra water next time.
