It is a simple dish, just rice and whatever masala you desire, baked together for a flavorful, satisfying meal. I like making it for my family, because as a …
So can we all just agree that the world has been crazy for the past few months? It’s been nuts! It seems like there have been non-stop tragedies all around.
