Rice with Cheese and Pepper
by , Published: August 28, 2011
The only thing I can tell about Rice with Cheese and Pepper is, "Simply Handsome rice dish I have ever tasted". Hmmm, well today I invited my cousine brother who is allergic to Onions and Garlic. By allergic I mean to say, he eats only Jain dishes. Now this invites a trouble for a foodie like me, because Garlic and Onions are my best friends when I have to spell out magical dish. Well by now most of my friends would have know that, this invitation was a tough challenge for me. Nevermind, I took this challenge and keeping in mind that my cousine is simply mad about cheese, I delivered this simply handsome and electrified dish with an interesting combination of cheese, capsicum and spices!!!
Well what's my reward? Unfortunately, I didnt expect this dish will go so well so I didnt made it in big quantity. My brother thanked me by finishing up all rice and offered me 1 tablespoon of rice to taste. Lessons I learned? Always hide some amount of this dish for yourself before serving!!!
