SEC-S20W4 | 2nd Half: Rice

Hello Everyone!!

I hope you all are good and doing well. Today I'm here to be a part of this amazing course "SEC-S20W4 | 2nd Half: Rice".Rice is a versatile and widely consumed staple food around the world. It is a grain that comes in various types and is a main ingredient in many global cuisines.

Rice is commonly used in our traditional cuisine. We have a variety of dishes in which rice is main or side part. Rice has very high amount of carbohydrates that makes it good energy source . Its naturally low fat grain has no cholesterol, its gluten free grain contains some minerals and vitamins.

Did you know the types of rice we mentioned in class? Tell us.

I know about all long grain rice type ,infact I have used all long grain type. In our home Basmati Rice is used ,my family love it. My country's Basmati Rice are of best quality rice in the world. So thin long grain rice is used in our cuisine.

I don't know about medium grain rice at all. I get their knowledge from the course.

I didn't used short grain rice but i know about them and in my friends family they loved short grain rice so i had taste them too but I couldn't swallow them.

We would like you to prepare a main dish based on rice or with rice as a side dish (quantity for 1 person). It is important to explain the preparation process and the result.

For this course I'm going to make meat balls curry with side line rice. It's very delicious recipe that my family loved to have at dinner. Meats balls can be made from beef or chicken mince ,today I'm using here chicken mince.

Which starter and which dessert would go with the main dish you just prepared? Imagine a 3-course menu that goes with your main dish.

For this dish i like to add fresh salad of vegetables as starter and for desert i like to add cream cocktail. These two will compliment my main dish and make it more satisfying.

How has your experience been learning about pasta and rice? Tell us.

• I really enjoyed the learning pasta ,I learnt homemade pasta from starch and made it first time at home. This pasta was so yummy and I'll make it in future too.

• Learning about rice is also interesting but in our cuisine rice is commonly used as staple food in our main course. So I have enough knowledge about it.

Overall both course interesting and informative, @nahela chef did great job.

That's all from my side and I have tried to compiled the task . At the end i would like to invite @sualeha, @stef1, @@@ashkhan and @roohiasif99 for this contest. Thanks for giving time to my post.

Best regards
