    Biryani & Rice Dishes

    Best Rice Dishes

    Rice is a quintessential side dish to accompany a meal. It is often served with many Indian curries. In my collection of healthy rice recipes, there are simple recipes to show you how to make the perfect Basmati or Cumin Rice in the Instant Pot every time.ย 

    Rice is so versatile and can also be the main dish as well. Iโ€™ve included some of my favorite Indian rice dishes such as Brown Rice Chicken Biryani, Palak Khichdi, and Kheema Pulao. These one-pot wonders are easy to make and perfect for a weeknight dinner.ย 

    So whether youโ€™re looking for a side or main rice dish Iโ€™ve got you covered. Enjoy!
