I’m not a vegetarian.. but I sometimes steal thier food. 😉 Any ideas for non-rice recipes? One of my favorites is quinoa with peppers, olives, and avocados or tomatoes and a dill dressing.
Cool.. non-rice recipes are still on my list, will update them soon 🙂
What is the dish in the bottom left of your top photo? I’ve never tried a creamy rice like that before and I’m always looking for something new!
That would be curd rice… just adding yogurt to rice and tempering with curry leaves, mustard seeds and red chili. Will add the recipe soon 🙂
I have never heard of these rices before! They all look so good and yummy. Thank you for sharing.
