Brinji Recipe

Bay Leaf is one my favorite spice to use in cooking because of its unique aroma..If you can find fresh bay leaf then you can use that, but I always have dried bay leaf in my pantry always. Dried Bay Leaf doesn't have any aroma when you smell them as it is, but once you throw them in hot oil or ghee then it releases it aroma and it just fills your entire house.

I love making this rice because it has lots of spices and while you are frying them in hot ghee, wow the smell will be so good. This rice has some sweetness and richness to it from the coconut milk you use it it. This is one of the must try rice recipe.
