You can also improve this ...

Nutrition Centre -- Healthy Hints This may be lower in total fat than a traditional recipe but it still gives you unhealthy saturated fats which have been shown to raise bad or LDL blood cholesterol making you more prone to heart disease.

Healthy Hints For a pilau dish, this actually isn't bad at all. But note that it is meant as an accompaniment when the whole recipe serves 12.
