Baked Potato With Rice is an irresistible, flavorful and a delicious dish prepared using potatoes, rice, cheese and wheat flour. I had a craving for casserole-style cheesy potato dish, but I also wanted it to wholesome. My husband on the other hand wanted to have pulav or a biryani. So I decided to prepare a layered dish with flat bread or roti, flavored basmati rice, and cheesy potato topping. The outcome was a super hit. I hope you prepare it as well and let me know the outcome.
