This is a super easy recipe and tastes so good. I grew up with my Mum using Govindobhog rice for their recipe but that’s not available here in the US. The closest thing we have here is Kalijeera rice from Bangladesh available from Indian groceries. It has a wonderful fragrance that works as well as Govindhobhog rice @sarchakra
