For Billy and myself this is the best rice dish ever. This time we added extra cashews because they are just so good when cooked this way. It maybe a little early to mention it but we will be having this with cashews and chestnuts for our Twixmas curry for sure. For this feast we had our chitranna rice with classic bombay potatoes, ceylon chicken and sizzling peppers and onion. We also had fruit chutney, coconut chutney and, from the chutney blend selection, we had the lovely lime pickle. Thank you guys, we were actually wondering today how we ever got by before we became spicery fans.
