Enjoyed this rice dish. Scaled to half using 1 cup Basmati to 2 cups of water as called for in my rice cooker, yes my rice cooker that never fails as opposed to stove top that often gives me mixed results. I sauteed everything in the pan then into the cooker. I did sub the pine nuts with almonds as that is what I had on hand. Made for one awesome Basmati Rice Pilaf that will see to repeats.
