3 Coloured rice 🍚 commonly known as MUTANJAN is one of the essence of Pakistani Traditional Cooking. You will amazed to hear that my mom add long cloves in zarda . Yes you read it right. This has a very nice flavour in sweet rice. I always asked my mom why clove in zarda ? Now I always add in my rice because my mom is my inspiration ❤️❤️❤️
I saww cloves in season so thought to make this amazing MUTANJAN 😍
