Expert Tips:
Well, as promised you will now have a chance to sneak a look at the tiny details which makes this dish delicious. Unless, you might just feel like you are having bland rice.
One of the most important things is to keep in mind the ratio between broccoli and rice. You do not want your dish to have a taste of just one of them. You can play around the quantity as much as you want. Just be careful.
Same is with the amount of salt and pepper, you can add as much as you feel is needed.
Another thing is the ingredient which was optional, yes you guessed it right; garlic powder. It is used to enhance the flavors as is the task of this ingredient. I would suggest that do give it a try.
