Kadhambam Rice

Some dishes don’t have alternative and you cant get anywhere except it should be prepared by you or your mom. The flavor and taste of Kadhambam rice is so good. In our village we often make this Kadhambam rice whenever we get bored with lemon rice, tomato rice or any variety rice. It’s like half besibalabath plus half samabar sadham.
