Happy valentines day to all my viewers. This is my most comfort & tasty rice variety, which I cook very often for my DH lunch box. I always prepare the vangibath powder & store it in the freezer for a week or more. It makes my cooking very simple & easy. Best way to serve this rice is with papads or with raitas as well.
