The end results are simply divine. Enjoy this flavourful rice preparation with veg or non-veg curries or just lentils. Just the way you like it.

Tip: Soak the rice for half an hour or so prior to cooking. You can use oil instead of ghee and make this recipe vegan too. But, ghee fluffs up the rice and gives it an amazing aroma. you can also enhance its flavour by adding fried onions which gives it a biryani like taste and aroma.
