Great idea!! Yes, you can omit the chicken. Just cut down a little bit of the water will do. Happy trying! ;) Yvonne: Pilaf + Chicken Tikka Masala is a perfect combo! Great idea!!

I will definitely give it a try. Could i omit the chicken because i would like to cook the chicken tikka masala(from your recipe too) to go together with the rice. Hi, your pilaf looks so tempting.

My family loves to snack on roasted nuts (plain but healthy). As for your little gal, please take note of the allergy issues on nuts for toddlers. If you can get hold of the recipe, please share with me. ;) My Indian vegetarian (http://food-4tots.com/2008/07/13/indian-vegetarian-rice/) was inspired by my Indian friend. You can give it a try. I like to add some orange juices and orange zest when cooking it. ;) Ling: If your hubby loves toasted nuts, maybe you can consider roasting some for him as snack.

I know blogging takes up much time and what's more with posting great photos, background info and nutritional value of ingredients. I think I can safely say that there's such thing as free lunch in this world :) Thanks to you. :) BTW too, I really appreciate your efforts in sharing good and healthy recipes as there aren’t many such blogs in our region.

Hubby started by picking them up to munch and my girl 'monkey-see-monkey-do'. :D I've tried a very soft and fragrant Indian rice a colleague of mine has made and it was so totally suitable for babies/toddler. I had asked her for the recipe but she was so busy then and now she has resigned! Pity. May be I should try to get in touch with her again :) Hi Lai Kuan,

Hehe! Maybe it's time for me to do a revisit of this dish. ;) Thanks for your sincere feedback on the orange pilaf. I really appreciate that. Sometimes I also added some lentil and vegetable curry (as shared in my blog) to go with it. Sorry that I have forgotten to remind you about picking up the cloves and cardamon pods. I also encountered the same story with my picky hubby. Btw, did you add any nuts ie roasted almonds flakes, roasted cashew nuts or roasted pine nuts as it will provide some crunchiness to the dish. ;) Ling: I haven’t cooked the creamy butter prawns for quite some time as there are too many new recipes I am trying out everyday.

It was my first time cooking spice-infused rice this way. I always wanted to try but feel quite intimidated by the unfamiliar spices. I had fun :D And thanks for sharing this Indian concoction.
