To avoid waste, you can use the top and outside parts of lemon grass to make a very nice tea. Just bruise them a little, put them in a pot, pour over boiling water and steep for about 10 minutes. Good with a little sugar or honey. Your recipes all look and sound great!

Hi Mamatha, Brown basmati is the only brown rice I have cooked at home so far. For brown basmati - 2 cups rice, 4 cups of water. Cook on medium heat on stove-top (no pressure cooker). Just before when it is done, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of water on the top. Mix once, turn off the heat and cover and let it steam. This method works for me. If you try this method, please let me know the results. Thanks Mamatha. Hi all, great to see such enthusiastic response to this recipe and thanks for your kind notes.

I have a question on cooking brown rice - I never seem to get it right, it's either too dry and undercooked or mushy and overdone. How do you determine the right amount of water to use or is there a fail-safe method to cook brown rice? I've tried rice-cooker and stove top method but the perfect brown rice eludes me. Hi Indira,

Thinking of it, lemon grass would be a wonderful addition with a citrus-y flavour. I make a similar dish without the lemon grass which I was planning to post soon :) .
