Pink Pot Rice, Cheesy Beetroot Rice
by Tarla Dalal
The Pink Pot Rice is a cheesy one-dish meal that is sure to catch your fancy with its rich taste and captivating appearance. A cheesy white sauce gives this rice preparation a luscious mouth-feel, while beetroot gives it a pleasant flavour and bright colour.
A couple of herbs and spices thrown into the pot give the Cheesy Beetroot Rice a fabulous aroma while also enhancing the flavour. Serve this rice dish immediately on preparation because it contains cheese, and will lose its texture over time.
