Rice is the most staple food all over the world. It’s the main food accompanied to Indian dishes as well. The method of preparation or presentation may vary but still it is the most loved food all over the country. In South India rice is cooked as it is and served with Sambhar , Kootu or any side dish . But in North India mostly rice is tempered with cumin seeds and served with Dals or gravy dishes . We mostly prefer it to be served with thin gravy dishes .
