Aromatic and flavourful Rice for all of you to relish at mealtimes on any given day. It's a beautiful twist to the simple Rice dish with the use of Butterfly Pea flower by me. There is one more added attraction. Dry fruits like Pine nuts are used by me to make it more appealing. Easy to prepare even with cooked rice or leftovers too. It's a hassle free Rice recipe that can be whipped up anytime you feel like having something different. Any side dish of your choice can be served along with this, either Vegetable or Non-vegetable. Ghee Rice is always a best choice for any party or an occasion. It's also great for Tiffin box idea too. An ideal option when it comes to Rice, it's simply irresistible.

Pine nuts are one such nuts that make a huge difference to this beautiful Rice here. Loaded with Amino-acids and Antioxidants, these are absolutely healthy.

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.
