Tips and Suggestions by Mom Chef:-

• The whole spices are important for flavouring. So, do not avoid it.
• Traditionally, this rice is prepared in ghee/clarified butter only. So, use ghee to make the dish flavourful and rich.
• While adding the cooked rice in a pan, switch off the gas. This will make the rice fluffier and rice grains will not break.
• While serving, add the saffron milk and a dollop of butter. Butter makes it more aromatic and enhances the flavour too. And add fried onions on the top.
