This recipe is a Vegetarian version of Non-vegetarian lotus rice.Usually in Vietnam or in other parts of Asia continent pork or chicken is used in this dish.Glutinous rice or sticky rice is used to prepare this dish.In this recipe I used basmati rice with vegetables and follow the same procedure to prepare the dish, but of course with vegetarian delight to satisfy your tastebuds.
