Maharashtrian Masala Bhaath

I have had this recipe for over 6 years now, given by my bestie Sonali. I make it a few times a month to good reviews by family and friends.

It’s an easy one pot, no fuss recipe. You can add any vegetables of your choice and make it a wholesome meal for your family.

In these times of lockdown, we friends swap recipes and they pointed out that it’s not on the blog. I was surprised myself that I missed out uploading such a good recipe. So here it is
