Dhakane

 

Dhakane is a sweet dish made with fried rice and milk. It is widely popular in eastern Nepal. Making this cuisine is simple but take a slightly longer time though the result is worth the effort. Even though it comes in a sweet dish, cannot be served as dessert as it is comparatively heavier due to the presence of rice.

Let's start out with ingredients

• 1-litre milk
• 200 gm basmati rice
