This is a good recipe to make if you have left over boiled basmati rice. It is also an ideal tupperware meal as its quite complete on its own and very nourishing. You can add more vegetables to this but my husband is a bit fussy where his veggies are concerned so i just stick to what he likes to eat. You can serve it with a simple cucumber raita , papadums and indian pickles and you will be more than satisfied!! Here is my simple recipe and i hope you all like it, try it out and give me feedback:)
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup of boiled white basmati rice
1 onion chopped fine
1/2 cup of boiled green peas ( i used the frozen one)
