I ended up making this and had trouble with the rice too -- a little crunchy, a bit bland. Overall I found it easy, but underwhelming. Am I missing something?
A question about chutney -- is it a condiment or something to be used to season meats/ cook with? My BF and I were having this debate this AM. We are chutney curious, thanks to a couple of homemade...
