I prepared this rice for my aunty and nephew who were visiting us after a long time they really like it...but i was not satisfied the rice quality was not upto the mark it was a bit lumpy...we can fry and add few cashew-nuts i did not have any at home...the masala paste can be used for frying potatoes or mutton/chicken it will taste nice... you can serve this rice with french fries or mutton fry nice brunch recipe very easy to prepare...try it your self and let me know...:)
