Darjeeling chutneywale chawal

I adapted this recipe from Chef Vikas Khanna’s recipe book ‘The great India cookbook’.There are many interesting recipes in the book which I have bookmarked.Chef mentioned in the book  that this is the recipe of Masterchef India contestant Joseph Rozario’s recipe where he has given full credit and I really appreciate the simplicity of the great chef Vikas Khanna.Many a times I like to cook very simple recipes and this is one of the simple and tasty recipe.I have slightly modified the recipe by adding green peas and few cashewnuts for extra punch.Happy weekend dear readers!
