Pepper Rice

I came across this pepper rice at Kurinji's Space,the simplicity of this rice attracted me a lot coz my mom used to make this pepper rice with shallots, but Kurinji went for a simple, quick and easy preparation for making this rice..I loved this rice also this rice tastes absolutely awesome also a completely one pot meal, u doesnt even need anything as side dish, may be some papads but i enjoyed this rice without any side dish..Fresh grounded pepper and cumin powder added to this rice turned them super delicious with a fabulous flavour, thanks to Kurinji for sharing this easy pepper rice, will post soon my mom's version very soon..Sending this rice to Nupur's BB#8-One Dish Meals..
