Veg Jambalaya & Cajun Spice Homemade

on
Jambalaya as the name means Jumbled up is a very interesting Louisiana cuisine which has an influence of Spanish, French and West African cuisine. Basically, it is made of meat veg and rice, since mine is a veg version, so no meat in it. The Cajun spice which is the main spice gives it a very authentic flavour, and its a very easy to make spice at home. Enjoy!!!
