PICK YOUR RICE

Since rice makes up for a significant percentage of your bowl, choose between Basmati, jasmine or sticky rice to be the foundation.

AVOID EXCESSIVE TOPPINGS

Pick and choose your elements consciously since the toppings are only going to be what you eat your rice with.

BITE SIZES

Ensure that your chicken, vegetables and condiments are prepped and placed in even portions for easy eating.

SAVE TIME

Use up bits and bobs of food – whether it is leftover sabzi or stews, the odd piece of pita bread or spoonfuls of sauces and gravies, avoid the hassle of making something else and repurpose.

CAREFUL CONSTRUCTION

Place your accoutrements in a way that you can create your own interesting combination of flavours in bites, while also making sure that one doesn’t overpower the other in any way.
