It was a nice side dish. I had to more than double the amount of water though. I just cooked it in a dutch oven because I didn't have a rice cooker.

Reak good and makes plenty. Almonds made it interesting and it was pretty much enjoyed. I couldnt find black cardamom pods though. Not bad to tell the truth.

I often make carrot rice as stand alone fancy side dish. I usually don’t cover with curry or other toppings. This fragrant dish reminds me of Afghanistan pilafs.
