No --Right? This recipe is from my brother Seri. He lives in Finland . He makes variety of dishes with the limited vegetables and spices that are available to him. He loves to cook and entertain his friends with his cooking. Many of  his friends are fans of his cooking . I am very happy and thankful to him for sharing this recipe with me.

Note :
-------
1)If the rice is too hot and after you add yogurt the rice becomes thick and dried once it is cool ,you can add warm milk or water or more yogurt to loosen it.

2)You can adjust green chilly according to your taste.

3)Try it with brown rice too it tastes good.
