Bhagare Chawal is rice tempered with variety of whole spices to make the rice more fragrant.
For making Bhagare chawal or tempered rice we need whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom , cloves , bay leaves and peppercorn. You must be wondering where are the spices in the picture. Well I use whole spices in limitations as it has the tendency to overpower the entire dish. Specially rice.
I have also used powdered Garam masala to give an extra doze of fragrance to the rice. This rice is simple to prepare and goes well with any type mutton or chicken curries. Mostly I prepare this rice with Dalcha.
