Notes

  • The cooked rice should be separate and not mushy.
  • Capsicum may be used along with the veggies for the green layer. It has to be sauted with the onion.
  • Cabbage can be avoided for the white layer. A few pieces of potato can be put along with onion while cooking. Alternatively, you can make jeera rice for the white layer without any vegetables.
  • A curry or a yoghurt based salad pairs well with it.
