I did what it said and it wasn't done at the 35 minute mark plus there
wasn't a lot of liquid left in it. I added about a half a cup of water and
some more chili powder because it was a tad bland. Cooked for 15 more
minute and the end result was great! I can't even tell that it is a
different rice.
