Tadka/Phodanicha Bhaat/Vaggarane Anna - Using BROWN RICE

Brown Rice is good for health but at the same time it does not taste as good as white rice.So most of the times, we eat this as a punishment just because we do not have option (Including me).

This is what made me come up with this recipe.Believe me,you will begin to love the brown rice with this recipe.It tastes better than the white rice when prepared.

Ingredients :
  1. Cooked Brown Rice  - 2 Cups
  2. Oil - 2 Tb Spoons
  3. For Tadka/Fodani/Vaggarane - Mustard seeds and Cumin Seeds (1 Tea Spoon each), asafoetida and Turmeric Powder (1/2 Tea spoon each)
  4. Garlic, chopped - 1 Tb Spoon
  5. Onion - 1 in count,chopped
  6. Chopped vegetables that you like
  7. Green chillies - 1,chopped (I have used Jalapenos for a change.Give a try)
  8. Peanuts - 1/4 Cup (Optional)
  9. Salt to Taste

STEPS :
  • In a pan, heat the oil.To that, add Mustard and Cumin seeds.After they splutter, add Asafoetida and Turmeric Powder.
  • Now add, all the veggies,Garlic and Peanuts and saute them until they are well fried and cooked.When fried,you should get nice aroma.
  • Add salt and mix it well.
  • Now to this,add the cooked brown Rice  and mix it well with the Tadka or Fodani .Do it for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Garnish with Coriander and other vegetable.
