Green field beans, long-grained rice and fresh green herbs, cooked in an earthen pot… the experience is truly heavenly! lilva or fresh vaal is available only during a season that lasts three to four months, so make the most of it while it lasts. The delicious green masala used in this recipe is truly delectable, so if you are reminded of it when lilva is not in season, make this rice with cauliflower and green peas instead. It tastes equally good.

Lilva rice is totally what i was looking for... The coriander paste adds a distinctive taste to the rice...It tastes different from the regular ones we have.. Hot kadhi and this rice makes an amazing combo..
