Talimpu Rice For Sumeer Express Cooking Event

This is my entry to Mallugirl's Summer Express Cooking Event. This event is all about good food and speed. A meal to be made in anywhere from 10-30 minutes, start to finish. You can use semi- homemade products, such as ready made rotis and tortillas, frozen veggies, or precooked chicken or left over rice. Thanks Mallugirl. For that I prepared this simple, delicious and quick rice dish with left over rice. Its my favourite rice item. Simple ingredients and simple process to follow but yummy taste.
