Nice dish that i always used to try with some modification. After adding the oil to the pan you can add one brinji leaf, cinnamon,clove,and cardamom and Sombo seeds. It will be a different experiance. You can add soaked green pea, and meal maker along with rice. I used to try ths in pressure cooker with soaked normal ponni rice, biriyani rice or basmathi rice. For Basmathi and biriyani jeera rice I am using 1 and half cup water. But for normal ponnirice 2 cup of water for one cup of rice. Then extra one more item is the ginger garlic paste.
