As much as exercise and workouts, our day to day meals contribute equally in defining our health. Hence, most of the times, whenever I make breakfast, lunch, dinner, I try to make it wholesome and filling.
Being from North India, we focus more on the flatbreads, veg curries and dals, but rice is also a favourite of ours. Therefore, even if we eat less rice, a portion of it makes our meals complete.
Zeera Rice is often made by me for regular lunches, however, when it comes to feasts or special dinners, I opt for Vegetable Dum Biryani and after trying Bengali Style Veg Pulao, I think I am putting it on my favourite list of rice dishes as well!
