During the Chilli Wintry Days... Something, that absolutely steals away our very attention- that too, the taste buds...when the sweetest of oranges are available in plenty & with the same when something such delectable is prepared.
Which can be categorised both in the savoury as well as the desserts...due to its plethora of tastes that bursts out into one’s mouth leading to a completely unforgettable & cherished meal, in itself...!!!

Steps

45-50 mins

1

Wash & Soak the measured Rice-Set aside...Keep rest other ingredients handy & readily available
2

Heat a frying pan/heavy bottomed saucepan: Add in the ghee over the medium flame, then goes in the tempering spices to it- gently sauté until it releases its fine aroma, goes in the dry fruits- sauté until lightly brown
3

Add in the soaked rice now & sauté until everything is nicely combined- Then, goes in the fresh orange juice mixed with the water (2.5 Cups Liquid), altogether- Mix well very gently
4

Cover with the lid once it comes to a boil...When almost done- about 80% open the lid- give it all a really good mix but very carefully ensuring the rice grains aren’t broken- Add in the seasonings: Salt & Sugar and also the saffron diluted water
5

Mix everything again, well together until nicely combined and well incorporated...cover its lid again & cook for another 2-3 mins time until well cooked- Turn off the flame now
6

Let it sit on the hot oven for the next 10-15 mins time before serving it piping hot, post garnishing it...Dish out & relish it, as is or with whichever condiments you choose to have with it...but nothing’s more required with it, I believe- it’s a complete MEAL 🥘 in itself

ENJOY...😋💁🏻‍♀️

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
