Lentils and race-one thousand combinations. Chicken and rice-one hundred combinations. Mutton and rice-one of a kind combination. Vegetables and rice-one in a million combinations.

Everything tastes good with rice. Everything tastes bland without rice. Every flavour is enhanced in rice. Every ingredient blossoms with rice.

Rice has at least 40,000 varieties. Rice has different types: long, medium and short. Rice has tantalizing colours and textures. Versatility of rice blows my mind.
