The accompaniments I cooked 3.75 kg of Basmati rice in three large domestic rice cookers, there was some left over - maybe enough for 8 servings.I bought chutney and pickle - two jars each of Sharwood's Sweet Mango Chutney and Patek's Lime Pickle (med/hot).There was a little of the mango chutney left, but the lime pickle was greatly admired, and I think the crowd would have eaten up several more jars' worth.
