Masala bhaat

Hello friends! Today I have come with a rice dish called masala bhaat. It is mostly a maharashtrian dish but it has its own varieties. Bhaat means rice and masala means mix of vegetables and spices. So lets begin cooking this.

The version of masala bhaat as I said varies and it is supposed to be spicy but for our taste I have still reduced the quantity of masalas.
