I used chicken broth rather than vegetable broth, and regular basmati rice, vs instant rice (3/4c rice for a 1:2 ratio of rice to liquid). Simmered with the broth and other listed ingredients until cooked through (maybe 15-20mins?). This was good and is serving as a side dish tonight to our leftover Southwestern Egg Rolls from this website. Thanks for the recipe, Alison!
