If you feel bored to cook but not in a mood to buy outside food then this will be the exact recipe to try with very few ingredients but definitely satisfies your taste buds with no compromise. Many of us can think how the rice tastes good without adding onions, tomato, chillies and garlic. But I swear this recipe can do all the magic.
