But how did it taste?

From just looking at the picture I can assure you that it tasted great. I know my mouth salivates every time I look at those pictures!

But how did it taste?

It was delicious. The actual meat to rice ratio was higher than in the plated picture. Good contrast of textures and flavors with the various meat and cooking techniques. Made for good leftovers too.

Wow. Just wow. Impressive showing this month.

I counted 31 entries. January has 31 days. Interesting.

Of those 31, @butzy produced an amazing list of 10 rice dishes. @Hank offered up 6, @eastshores 5. 7 others did the remaining 10 dishes.

I was seriously considering giving the win to @Aquamarie because I really like onigiri. And @harpua made brownies, not what I expected to see in this challenge. And @Hank's smoked salmon risotto was also a top contender.

But just based on the number of good looking dishes, the variety and creative uses of rice, I'm going to name @butzy the top contender for the month.

Good work, all who took part, especially first timers and mostly lurkers like @singularity6 and @loomchick.

Vegetarian Raw Baby Jackfruit Biriyani. Rice is a staple here in India. Its made with Basmati with a Salted Curd Mix with Tomatoes and Onions.
