Paella is bascially rice cooked with ingredients of your choice in a round flat pan. This dish hails from Spain and the typical Valencian paella is rice with chicken, rabbit and green beans, butter beans etc. I have come up with my own version of a vegetarian paella. The rice used is ordinary rice (please do not use basmati). I am going to give u the recipe for my version of this famous rice dish… hope you like it 🙂

3- 4cups of water
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
6 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon each of Nitu Didis paprika powder, rosemary,
1 pinch of Nitu Didis pure spanish saffron
