ABOUT Spanish Paella RECIPE

Paella is a signature dish of Spain. It is rice cooked with prawns, sausages and chicken or any sea food. It is gently simmered in low flame in chicken / fish stock and flavoured with saffron. It is served, garnished with tomatoes, bell pepper and lime wedges. It is a very delicious and a healthy one pot meal. There are many versions to this dish and can be cooked in various ways like seafood Paella or mixed paella. A special kind of rice called Arborio rice is used to cook Paella, but in the absence of it I used short grain rice.
