I tried a pumpkin prawn pilaf recipe from a local women magazine, together with unfortunately, I constitute it lacking inwards flavour (just my ain opinion). Personally (you may intend otherwise), I volition prefer to a greater extent than spices to larn alongside it. The recipe for iv servings also called for three cups of raw basmathi of which is quite a lot! three cups raw basmathi volition hand you lot roughly ix cups cooked (unfluffed) rice together with imagine later on fluffing.....woah...I can't imagine iv persons eating that. When I tried out the recipe to serve three large eaters plus kids, I cutting the rice to one-half together with the residual remained. It looked fine, proportion of rice together with prawns looked good, but tasted non every bit skillful every bit I hoped, since making seasoned rice is ordinarily quite straightforward alongside non much techniques involved. I wonder how many of you lot own got encountered such problems alongside recipes from women magazines.

| from the magazine |
I served 8 adults alongside this recipe, using less than three cups of basmathi. I also did it my agency according to my ain preference alongside additional spices together with butter, or better, role ghee.
Like most seasoned rice, this tin live made few hours ahead of fourth dimension if you lot want.
And you lot tin role boneless chicken if you lot prefer. Just laid upwards it together alongside the pumpkin instead of putting inwards last. Don't forget to marinate together with sear the chicken too!

| 2nd attempt, improved recipe |
All pictures except this higher upwards are from 1st endeavour (based on recipe from magazine) together with I didn't own got the fourth dimension to accept to a greater extent than pictures from the sec attempt.
You tin regard the prawns hold off different. The 1st attempt, they hold off 'clean', together with sec endeavour they hold off 'dirty'. Heheh, the muddied version is much improve for me.
The rice is also to a greater extent than flavourful alongside the additional spices together with butter.
Cooking instrcutions are written for microwave oven because I yet don't ain a rice cooker together with my hubby knows why, LOL.
Oh yes, this rice is non spicy every bit inwards "hot". I served this to my kids too.
