Dhaniya bath as the name itself suggest that the core ingredient of this dish is Coriander leaves. This onepot dish is one of the most easiest way to prepare. This rice variety is similar to Pulav/Pulao but again ingredients vary. An ideal lunch box recipe which simply great with or without side dish. This can be served with raitha as well.
