#riceisthebest - This is my style of a perfect comfort food as it is quick, easy and simple to prepare but with loads of flavour. This yummy one-pot fried rice meal comes in handy when you are too lazy or when time is less. Just a wee bit of tempering and mixing the podi to any cooked rice and you are done with a plateful of yummy delicacy. Enjoy with papad, chips or fryums. It is simply lip smacking and a great substitute to jeera rice or plain biryani. You gotta have it to believe.

'Podi' - which literally translates to powder, is a mixture of ground spices and lentils, which is found in abundance in the cuisines of South India. In this recipe I have used Andhra special Nalla Karam Podi, but you can go in for any store bought or homemade podi of your choice. You can relish podi rice for breakfast, brunch, lunch / dinner or pack for a lunch box meal too. #goldenapron
