Try this Indian

I love infusing herbs and spices into my rice to totally change the flavor profile. This simple basmati rice is infused with spices that can easily be found in the grocery store, giving it the aromas and delicious flavors found in Indian cuisine that complement any grilled or roasted meat, seafood and curries.
