Turn off the heat and let sit for 15 minutes before fluffing it and pour the rice on a baking tray to cool the rice. Or use a day old rice.

  5. Add the rice to the dill mixture and mix it thoroughly. Make sure the pan you are mixing it in is large and you are being gentle with the rice and not mushing it up. Toss in the cashews.
  6. Serve as a side or main with veggie kebabs and a yogurt sauce.
