Spicy Pulawo Rice

My son for some reason has decided not to eat any lentils, pulses or beans, and being vegetarian makes it difficult to prepare a wholesome meal. therefore i have been experimenting with a lot of rice dishes and i have created some very nice variations, incorporating basmati rice, health rice with lots of vegetabls and nuts.
