Pakistani Bhagar Walay Chawal (Stir Fried Rice) or Zanzibari Pul image

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. Zanzibari Chutney (Part of Zanzibari Pulao/Pilaf) recipe #(will update soon)
