Garlic Rice Recipe

I am a Kashmiri and it is believed that the people in Kashmir who do not eat rice once daily are not actually Kashmiri. It’s weird but many people think so. We have rice for dinner or lunch with any gravy of our choice. Boiled rice can go with mutton, beef or chicken, lentils or even the vegetables. When boiling the rice and drain excess water it removes many carbohydrates as well. I think this is the main reason we are not so fat though eating a lot of rice. Obviously, one gets tired of eating boiled rice every day so I am not all the time removing water from rice. I also try to flavor my rice in different ways. I will be sharing with you more easy recipes for rice in coming posts. Today in this post, I will show you how just by adding the tempering of garlic can change the look and taste of boiled rice. I hope you will like this change. You can also try Garlic Fried rice recipe.
