"Our son Rishab loves this one pot dish and I always make it for him when come home. It鈥檚 very special to us because Rishab鈥檚 grandmother used to cook it. It鈥檚 a dish from her birthplace in the northern regions of current day Pakistan. Basically it鈥檚 rice cooked in meat broth. We had taken Rishab to see her and she鈥檚 made a big batch of it. And she sent us back with Tupperwares of it too. She passed away a few days after we visited her but ate the dish cooked by her for many days after. I hold the recipe close to my heart." -聽Richa Bhatnagar
