Leftover rice is the perfect experiment ground for me in the kitchen, as I can just make varied dishes by adding simple ingredients, in no time.

One such outcome is this dish, by adding my favourite winter-special fresh methi leaves. Cooked with very few ingredients, comes out absolutely delicious.

Tips:
1. Leftover rice yields best results as it’s drier compared to fresh rice, also takes less time to cook.
2. Avoid adding masalas like coriander, cumin, chilli powder, garam masala etc, as this will overpower the fresh methi flavour and also would change the colour of rice. Instead increase the green chilli amount for a spicy version.
