Tips
Rice:
-
I made this with Basmati Rice. But you can make it with normal Rice too but just remember to add ½ cup extra Water.
-
I have made it separately in a vessel but you could cook it in a cooker too. Then the proportion of water should be 1.1/2 for Basmati and 2 Cups water for regular Rice.
Spices:
- Spices should be just a little in this Rice because they dominate the gentle fragrance and flavor of Green Coriander.
Mirchi:
- The entire Mirchi has to come from Green Chillies. Do not add Red Chilli Powder.
