Rice is one of the staple diet of majority of the people of our country. In different cuisines, its preparation is different and so is it’s taste.
Tendli bhaat is a dish from Maharashtrian cuisine. Here rice and ivy gourd are cooked together which comes out in the form of this exciting dish.
This is a soul satisfying one pot meal usually prepared on special occasions in maharashtrian kitchens. Maharashtra is my ‘karmabhoomi’ and some of its food varieties are loved in every corner of the country.
