#12 The Kittengi
Come to think about it, South East Asia is essentially one big rice bowl filled with various different kinds of cuisines with each different serving being a country's very own special twist. India's Nasi Briyani is indeed an odd-looking one because of each grain looks longer than the rest, but still holds the standard of being the staple food even in India, and also being one of the most fragrant rice. The Ketinggi's take on this great rice dish is one that everyone might be familiar with, but also one of the most delicious takes on a revered Indian rice dish with accurate taste, methods, and authenticity.
