LOTUS SEED RICE

I have already posted Lotus seed subzi and Soup yesterday.  Now I have to post the pickle and the rice which I tried yesterday.  You tube: lotus seed rice

The rice which I made was excellent with the lotus seed.  I am quite lazy to write a big story about the dish and must have noticed that most of my recipes are narrated shortly.  Here I have no patients to write about it as I have already described about the lotus and seed in the Soup and Subzi recipe.

Now straight away, we will have quick look at the recipe.
