Rekha's Notes
- Soaking rice for 10 minutes make them extra long. So you must soak rice before cooking.
- While serving sprinkle roasted sesame seeds which adds to taste and nutrition.
- A good squeeze of lime juice helps to enhance the taste. More importantly Vitamin C in lime juice helps in better absorption of iron.
