RISOTTO
An Italian rice preparation!!
The best part about this recipe is nothing but lots of cheese..:P :D
When i tried this recipe for the first time, the rice had become a little over cooked but from the second time onwards, it was purrrrfect... ;)
Serves 3
Ingredients:

• Uncooked rice- 2 cups, soaked for an hour
• Finely chopped medium sized onions- 2
• Cubed french beans- 15
• Small cubed carrot- 1
• Ready made tomato puree- 6 tbsp
• Grated cheese- 3/4 cup (or 1 cup if more calories can be burnt..:P)
• Unsalted butter- 3 tbsp
• Sugar- 1 tsp
• Fresh cream- 2 tbsp
• Salt to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method:

• Heat butter in a non stick pan (preferably) and fry the onions till translucent.
• Add the other veggies and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the soaked rice (without water) and mix gently for 3-4 minutes.
• Add the tomato puree , fresh cream, 4 cups of water, salt, sugar and pepper.
• Cover and cook on medium flame for 10-12 minutes.
• Check once and if the rice is almost done then sprinkle the grated cheese all over the rice, cover and cook for another 3-4 minutes on low flame so that the cheese melts and flavours the rice.
• Stir softly and serve hot.. And yes, dont forget to garnish with grated cheese..:)
