Pakistani Bhagaare Chawal (Stir Fried Rice) or Zanzibari Pulao Recipe #282570
Although this recipe has no major ingredient than rice. It has a very unique taste because of the garam masalas in it. I usually substitute it with plain white rice for meals when I am craving for something less bland. This is also a part of Zanzibari Pulao's recipe.
