Hi Mona nani...Your tri color rice looks absolutely delicious. I will definitely try it out. I couldnt help notice the ingredients in the coriander rice. I use a very similar recipe with some changes to make spinach rice. More specifically one change and one addition - instead of 1 cup coriander, I use 1 cup (or sometimes more) of chopped spinach and 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder. I got this recipe from a colleague whose mother-in-law is Guyanese. They used allspice, which I changed for 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder. But results are absolutely fabulous. I have looked into my pantry, a forever empty one, but fortunately I see all the ingredients for the Tricolor rice. I am going to try it. I will let you know how it goes.
