This is our first attempt at posting a recipe online and our second attempt at food photography ever so please be gentle! We’re going to be posting recipes and photos at least twice a week. This is a recipe I found on an Indian foods site. After eating it as shot, I’d replace the brown rice with basmati but choose the rice that suits your palette. This is best served warm.
