Mexican Rice


Had tried this long time back.... but had gone for a holiday to India... So could not post it... Had a wonderful time as usual in India... Took my daughter there for the first time there... She also enjoyed there a lot... was pampered by everyone.... So I m back with my recipie after a long time...This rice is really very simple, easy and fast to prepare.... I liked it as it was something different and fast to prepare... but still I am wondering why the name Mexican rice was given to this recipe... what mexican touch does it have... anyways it tastes good so as Shakespear said what there in the name... :) here goes the recipe....

1tbsp oil

I saw this on HBO long back but they ground jalapeno and tomato sauce. I felt it was more of tomato pulav:), and yours seems like veggie pulav. As long as it is tasty, the name does not matter!
So that explains the absence!
