5.0 out of 5 starsEasy and delicious...and I can't cook!

The fact is, I can burn water. I cannot cook. Period.
I received the spice blend, read the directions which were quite simple, yet did not clarify if the beans and rice were to be pre-cooked before adding. I felt silly calling Banyan, but I did anyway, as I wanted not to ruin the dish. Customer service was outstanding and I actually spoke to a human after 2 direct rings. That is very rare. He walked me through the recipe, giving me his own tips and told me it would likely have a different result each time, but that is okay. I felt empowered and marched into the kitchen with no expectations...it all turned out perfectly. The only downside is that it does need salt. Otherwise it is a bit bland. Salt and pepper to taste is recommended. Add veggies and other spices as you wish. It makes 2 HUGE servings, which lasted 2 people, 3 days! Short story...soak beans overnight and add with uncooked rice, water, seasoning and ghee, bring to boil, cover and reduce to simmer for 40 minutes.
