This rice dish is so simple to create from the sauces available and if you rest the rice over the meat and level with water the rice will infuse with the sauces in the pot.

Cooking Tip

Indian food culture

It's traditional in India to eat with your hand, using chapattis to help pick up the curry or daal and rice. This is based on the ancient belief that food should satisfy all five senses, including touch.
