I am an ardent fan of rice based dishes specially the one pot meals.This is a very simple and delicious rice dish.The addition of ghee that makes it more rich and divine.Normally Gobindhobhog rice are used to make Bengali pulao and rice dishes as I couldn’t find them I used Royal Basmati rice.I am telling you guys when I made all these simple yet flavorsome Bengali recipes for the series ,I totally fell in love with each one of them.
