Thanks for sharing the recipe! It sounds good and it looks delicious. I’m going to make it, but with less chili. I love spicy food, but I think I won’t survive three chilies!
Try it out with chillies, it doesn’t turn spicy, but while it get fried in oil alongwith other ingredients, it gives better flavor. The spiceness will not get on to rice.
Thank you for sharing the recipe. I am sure that some Local Guides will try to remake it. Is this your favourite rice dish? I am used to having plain rice with some chicken.
I hope you had fun with your friend. I always enjoy a nice meal chatting with an old friend. Somehow the food tastes better this way.
