Rice does to a meal, what ornaments do to a woman! An ordinary meal turns into a treat if a little imagination is used in preparing the rice dish. An afternoon's left over rice can be successfully combined with anything & everything which is available at home-in the refrigerator. And look, what an interesting dinner it turns out to be!
It is not what you combine with the rice that is important, but when to add and how much to add to the rice, that makes all the difference. In fact, it is the amount and the sequence of adding the ingredients that is important.
You must also take care of the predominant flavour. For example, if you cook rice with corn and spring onions-ajwain (carom seeds) will taste better than jeera (cumin seeds). Similarly, if cauliflower is combined with rice, ginger will go better than garlic, whereas mushrooms take up garlic flavour better.
All this has been taken care of in this book to give you self satisfaction as well as fetch appreciation from others. And of course, good value for the money spent on the expensive 'Basmati' rice you buy!
