      That's a heartwarming bowl of rice, one of my most favourite of vegetarian pulaos. Yours is a lot richer in flavour with assorted vegetables, nuts and coconut. Must try your recipe soon. ?

      Looks so good. I have so much fresh mint in my back yard that I end up making such kinds of rice dishes every other day and my older one refuses to eat anything which has mint in it 🙂 So these are for the rest of us at home.
