… here’s how I would do it :
Take the cooking utensil in which you will steam rice … soak the rice in it … then half hour later drain the rice and put them in a plate … in the cooking utensil, stir fry the vegetables , sprinkle some local made salt and pepper into it and some local found herbs … Put the vegetables on the cover of the cooking utensil …
Add the rice and the water in the utensil , start boiling it .. when done , add the vegies …
Now eat the khana in the same plate that you used for rice earlier 
Kaisa?
