Garlic-icious Rice

This is an extremely simple preparation with a robust flavor & is an instant appeal to the garlic lovers. Garlic is a pretty versatile condiment & has numerous health benefits too. I belong to the I LOVE GARLIC camp & pity the ones that are missing out on this wonder bulb.
Try out this rice once & I promise you will be hooked on to it permanently.
