  Allow to cool a little. Meanwhile, gently heat oil in large saucepan. Add 
  the rice and stir for about 1 minute, seasoning with salt and pepper. Then 
  pour in the water, put the lid on, and bring to a boil. Now turn down the 
  heat and simmer the rice for 20 minutes or until it is cooked as you like. 
  When this done, turn the rice into a dish and spoon the chutney over it, 
  scattering the cashew nuts on top before serving.
