Thai Style Fragrant Rice is the simplest rice dish ever! It is so flavor full that the aroma released while being cooked makes you hungry. This is low on calorie as no coconut milk has been used. Not creamy yet so very tasty. This fragrant rice is best eaten with Thai green curry and Thai red curry.
If you have lemon grass growing in your kitchen garden or balcony garden then you can make it whenever you want with the most fresh aromatic leaves like I do all the time.
