Notes

1. I have added a number of veggies. You can add as per your requirement and can skip any of these ingredients if you wish to. You can also add Corn, Capsicum, Mushroom, etc.
2. If you do not like Chopped Ginger and Garlic, you can add Ginger Garlic Paste.
3. The Rice should not be overcooked or else the rice grains will stick to each other and will not be separated. Wash the boiled rice if it sticks.
4. Rice should be cooked in open pot. It keeps the rice separated from each other and doesn’t stick to each other.
