The dish is very simple and mild in taste, it is neither too spicy nor too bland. Even kids also liked it very much. My cousin told that it can be made with our regular rice or with basmati rice. But I tried it with basmati rice only. The rice cooked perfectly and all the grains separated. All the spices mixed with the veggies and rice evenly.
I kept the left over bath for the next day had it to my full satisfaction. Enjoyed it so much I could not stop telling everyone about it and praising the taste of Maharashtra.
