I love basmati rice. For me, its a staple food. During lunch, I prefer rice as a meal rather than chapati and sabzi. So, the experiment with rice goes on a daily basis on my countertop and this invention deserved to be text and shared.
Its a quick recipe, free from onion-garlic i.e, its a jain/satvik recipe
