hmm... I would recomend not using Evesrest brand for spices, its banned in countries as traces of harmful chemicals were found there.

We all need to be careful what brand of food ingredient we use... tata company and MTR , maybe better, you can do your research! anyway...

Not sure you added tomato...but color has come... you can make home made masala too grounding needed spices... and you should tell what rice you used here... its provably basmati rice, not the usual white rice right...anyway... adding pudina, may add flavour I think.
