What a nice way to get your veggies and starch into a single dish. It's really tasty and pretty too. I did use brown basmati rice, so cooked for 40 minutes per the package. And I used dried ginger and skipped the cayenne and garnish (just didn't have it in the house). I went a bit heavy on the carrots, since the two grated carrots were more than the half recipe called for. Still thought it was great though even with all of my changes.

This is a great rice recipe!! I used regular log grain white rice and garnished with parsley in lieu of cilantro and everything turned out perfectly delicious. Thx for sharing your recipe.
