Assalamu alaikum my readers,
After living in gulf countries for the past 12 years of my lif e my food tastes and cuisine got varied from spicy to less spicy food recipes. I started trying out Arabian cuisine recipes which though have spices but less hot spiciness. Since due to the very hot climatic condition in the gulf countries hot spiceful and salty food are not preferable.
My Previous recipe was Seb ki Kheer or Apple Pudding
and Today's recipe is an Arabian rice known as Cupsa where all the
ingredients are cooked together. Lets start with Bismillah and see
