a good one as usual Binnur. thank you so much.
the whole family loved this, thanx!!! although in your picture you have juice, mind hardly hard any ... do i add water??? ... fab though!!!! Victoria x x
Hi Victoria,
You shouldn't add water, the red bell pepper leaves enough water to cook the dish:) Two things may effect how much juice left. If there is a little hole on the lid of the pot which helps steam goes out should be completely closed. Or the amount of rice was too much which absorbs the juice:)
Binnur,
