lately i have been having "Spanish rice.... for those who may be familiar with it..i use Goya instant rice mixes (well til i figure out how to make it from scratch or get bored with it :D)... mmmm!
Boil any amount of rice to 1/2 kani that you want without adding salt , just add some oil.
Then take the ginger garlic paste approx 1-2 tbsp (depending upon qty of rices) that u use for normal cooking and saute in some oil then add the boiled rice in it mix well , add salt mix well and put on daam for 10-15 mins.
