Saffron Rice With Cashews and Raisins image

This rice is Indian inspired and so the recipe calls for traditional basmati, but Texmati rice will give much the same effect, and in fact any white rice is good made this way. Substitute almonds for the cashews if you prefer.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups basmati rice
2 1/4 cups water
