Yesterday, I followed @szrecipes recipe. Do you know why? Because when she posted that recipe I bookmarked it. I went to my saved recipes open it and followed. I got a compliment from my husband too …. Bazaari touch araha hai😄 this is my first time try to pour milk and sugar directly. I always make Sugar syrup (sheera) and add in boiled orange rice but @szrecipes poured milk in the rice. So I tried with milk this time and served with chicken pulao.
