Notes
- If you like spicy food you can add one green chilli finely chopped along with garlic.
- You can change ratios of vegetables, however do not skip adding capsicum/ green bell pepper as it gives the rice the flavor it requires.
- In the end you can add smoked flavor to the rice as it gives it a nice earthy feel. Place a small bowl on top of the rice and keep a hot coal in it, pour a teaspoon of ghee on top and close the lid. Let it smoke for 5 mins.
