Assalam o alaikum.

Rice is one of the most common and delicious foods in our daily meals. In my house rice is made almost every day in different styles. It is tasty filling and goes well with many other dishes like curry vegetables lentils or even yogurt. I love how simple yet special rice can be. There are many types of rice in the markets. We mostly used long-grain basmati rice because it smells nice and tastes so goods. My mother is very good ats cooking rice. She makes many dishes using rice like plain white rice fried rice biryani pulao and sweets rice. My favorites one is chicken biryani.It has spicy chicken boiled eggs potatoes and colorful rice. The smells of biryani fills the house and makes everyone hungry.

In summers we also enjoy cold rice with yogurts and a little salt. This is very refreshing and light. Sometimes when we are nots in the mood to eats heavy food we just eat rice with lentils (daal). This simple daal-chawal is not only tasty buts also very healthys one of the bests things abouts rice is that it cooks quickly. When we do not have much times we can just make plain rice with some curry or vegetables and enjoy a complete meal. It is also good for guests. Whenever guests come to our home my mother always includes a rice dish in the menu.

Rice is also used in sweet dishes. We make "kheer" which is a kind of rice pudding. It is made by cooking rice in milk with sugar cardamom and dry fruits. It is served cold and is a very popular sweet dish in Pakistan. Kheer is often made at special events like Eid weddings or birthdays. I believe rice is a blessing. It is not expensive and is available easily. It gives energy and keeps us full for a long time. It is also good for the stomach. Small children old people and even sick people can eat rice easily.

Rice is more than just food for me. It is comfort tradition and love. Every time i eat rice it reminds me of family home and the tasty smell from the kitchen. I am proud that in our culture rice has such an important place on the dining table. I thank the contests team for giving us this lovely topic to shared our food love.
