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)

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think I'll add some additional vegetables next time.

I didn't have any cumin on hand, so I used garam masala instead. It turned out great!

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this dish was just the right amount of heat for me. The yogurt helped to cool things down.
