7) Decorate with fried onions,nuts and coriander leaves.Cover the dish and bake for 10 minutes.That's it,the very tasty and much wanted Ribbon Rice is ready :-)
I think,Its named so b'coz of the 3 repeated colourful layers spread in the dish.Back home,they prepare this dish in cooker,so it will be like a 3 coloured ribbon kept spirally one upon the other.I guess, this is how this dish got this name.when u see the picture,the first thing comes into mind is biriyani,but actually while serving it, we have to cut like cake and serve, then u can see the 3 layers clearly.This dish was over with in no minute and forgot to take a good picture of it.This is the left over ribbon rice :-).jpg)
