Two Rice Recipes: Spiced Rice and Zesty Lime Rice
We love it when we have the time to get a little creative with our rice. Why? Well really the question is why not?! Rice is a brilliant sidekick to sauces, stir fry and curries but sometimes it deserves a little limelight of its own. We’ve whipped up our favourite ways to add some extra love to this loyal side. Follow along with the ingredients below to try for yourself at home. Serve it up alongside our South Indian Village Chicken Curry or our Butter Chicken.
