Anything which is quick I am all in for it. This rice is perfectly spiced and perfect for leftover rice. you can actually put all the masala and marinate for longer & temper it when you are above to serve. It is so simple that you can put all these together in under 20 mins (excluding marination time). Perfect for lunch box. If you want to make it wholesome you can add more vegetables. But traditionally no vegetable added. I have added beans & carrots to the recipe which is totally optional. With the addition of vegetables, you don’t have to do separate vegetables as a side dish.
