Yellow rice?? have u ever heard about this name..may be, but this dish got this name from my lil one who used to name lemon rice as 'RIZ Jaune' in french which means Yellow rice...I hate trashing foods and i tried this rice before few days back since some leftover rice were sitting in my fridge, i dont want to serve those left over rice just with some gravies, to give them a second life i tried out adding few spice powder and frozen green peas to give them a beautiful aspect..I was quite anxious about this culinary experience but for my surprise this rice tastes too delicious..u doesnt need to chop anything, grind anything..This quick and simple rice can suits very prefect for lunch box menu and my H carried this rice for his lunch with some spicy potato masala..As this rice is prepared with mild spices this dish can be served very well to even small kids with more veggies like carrots, cabbages or french beans..Even a bachelor can prepare this dish easily within few minutes...This was my first trial and gonna try this same preparation with many variations.
