This dish is amazingly fragrant and delicious, with a golden crust underneath. BUT, the recipe doesn't mention how much of the drained water to add back in. I put back about half of it, cooked with the lid on for 25 minutes, then the lid off for about 3 more minutes to brown the bottom a bit. This worked out fine. (Actually, used only half of everything the recipe called for except rice and water; it was wonderful!).
