Wonderful rice dish! I made it for lunch this afternoon. A small difference in my cooking procedure: I started by heating the oil in the skillet. The next step was to add the bayleaf and stir for 30 seconds. Following this, I added the onions and stir-fried until lightly golden. Then, I tossed in the green bell pepper and stir-fried for a few minutes, until the onions were ligtly browned and the bell pepper was nearly cooked. After this, I added in the rice(washed and drained) and cooked it(I mixed it twice in between) for a few minutes(3-4 minutes) on low flame. Next, I added in the dried oregano and mixed it well. Then, I poured in the broth(I prepared it in a separate dish by dissolving 2 cubes of Maggi Vegetable Broth with onion in 3 1/4 cups of water- brought it to a boil until the cubes were dissolved completely). I brought the rice-broth mixture to a boil. Then, lowered the flame and cooked on medium flame, partially covered, until the broth had been absorbed by the rice. Next, I added in the freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon to give it a beautiful lemony flavour. Mixed it in well and lastly, I garnished it with freshly chopped corriander leaves before serving. My parents and brother absolutely loved it. Thank You for sharing! Will make it again for sure !

I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby
My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby.
My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands.
He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
