Hello dear Steemians,

How are you all? I hope everyone is fine and healthy. Alhamdulillah, I am also good. Today I enjoyed a very special lunch at home. Cooking is always fun for me, and today I prepared something delicious – Polao (fragrant rice), Chicken Korma, and a refreshing Special Cucumber Salad with Yogurt.

🌾 Polao (Fragrant Rice)

1. Basmati or Polao rice – 2 cups
2. Ghee or oil – 3 tbsp

I fried the onions in ghee until golden brown, then added the garam masala, ginger, garlic, and rice. After frying for a few minutes, I added water and salt, then cooked it on low heat until the rice was soft and fluffy.
