Once brown, add half a cup water and cover to let the juices come out. After 5 minutes add one large tomato, one cinnamon stick, 6-8 pepper pods, 1tsp ginger and garlic paste. Salt and pepper according to taste. I  used 2tsp salt and half tsp pepper. This dish is prepared to serve 4-6 persons. You can reduce or increase quantity accordingly.

Once the water is dried up, cook it for 10 minutes on extremely low flame with the lid on. Tadaa! Fluffy and yummy rice is ready to serve. Its a complete meal on its on and can be paired with a curry or veggie dish. A light meal for summer

 

A useful tip: Always used double the amount of water to rice. For two cups rice I used 4 cups water.

Discard all the ingredients once done.

Your broth is rich, serve it hot either before dinner or an accompaniment to any meal.

A useful tip: If you are short on time, prepare it over the weekend, cook longer so the water is reduced to 2 cups. Store it in ice tray. Take one cube out, add boiling water and you have broth on the go.
