Note:

For variety rice, Basmati rice will make better taste. For 1 cup rice, I will use 1 cup of water. You can increase as your wish.

I didn’t add tomato or tamarind. If u want sour taste, you can make your side dish according to that.

You can avoid green peas, but it will give nice taste to coriander rice.
