This is one of our favourite dishes and I make this often to accompany meat dishes. This dish is very flavourful and yet it doesn’t compete with the spicy taste of meat gravies.Sometimes when I am bored and in no mood to cook fancy stuff,I whip this up and serve with raita or yoghurt.

2 cups basmati rice
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 cloves
