  • “*Reviewed for Zaar World Tour 3* My family and I loved this dinner. It was fairly easy to make and the flavours were great. I think it needed some extra liquid for the rice to cook- but otherwise just followed the recipe. Times stated were good. *Thankyou Dreamgoddess for being a wonderful Captain for the “Naughty but Nice” team throughout ZWT3* Photo also being posted”

  • “I had to go to other recipes to clear up some confusion in this recipe such as where the liquid to cook the rice was.But this was easy to do and the taste was excellent!!”
