Bagara Rice

 

Bagara rice is a simple preparation made in each and every home in Hyderabad.  This rice is eaten with as much as love as much as that goes in making of this very simple but flavourful dish. In Hyderabad people love to eat this rice with various curries or sometimes even plain, but I personally like to eat it with curd and papadoms.
