Fragrant, jeweled rice comes together in a flash with Maya Kaimal’s pre-cooked Basmati Rice pouches. Fragrant aromatics such as mustard seeds, cashews, ginger and turmeric are caramelized in the microwave and tossed with rice for an easy side dish.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.
