A yummy variation in Rice that's loved by many in our Country. It is a perfect one for mealtimes with families and friends. It's an excellent one that can be made even on a short notice, when sometimes, guests drop in. Aromatic and flavourful Rice that goes well with many a side dishes that I shared here on my profile. Enjoy it on any given day whenever you want to eat something divine. Simple pantry staples go into making this lovely looking Rice dish.

Happy Cooking Everyone!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
