Veggie Brown Rice is my own recipe prepared in south Indian style. Everyday I take this as my lunch.
Ingredients:
Short Brown rice - 250 grams (for 2 servings)
Onions -3
Tomatoes - 2
Green chillies - 5
Garlic - 1 head or 20 cloves
Carrot - 100 grams
Cabbage - 100 grams
Green Beans - 100 grams
Oil - 1 tablespoon
Chilly powder (cayenne pepper powder) - 1 tablespoon
Garam masala powder - 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Mustard seeds- 1/4 teaspoon
Hing powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Salt - 2 teaspoons or according to your taste
Coriander and curry leaves
Directions:
Soak brown rice for 30 minutes before cooking. Cook the rice in a pressure cooker for 7 whistles or cook it in a pot for 30 minutes and drain the water, if it is cooked in a pot.
In a large saucepan, heat the oil and fry the mustard and when it is spluttered add cumin seeds, hing powder, garam masala and turmeric powder and stir well. Add sliced onions and tomatoes, crushed garlic cloves, chopped green chillies and salt. Saute them for 2 or 3 minutes until they become half cooked. Add sliced and chopped carrot, cabbage, green beans and chilly powder. Add 250 ml water and cook it for 10 minutes in a medium heat or until cabbage is fully cooked. Now, bring the heat to low and mix the cooked brown rice with this veggie curry. Sprinkle the chopped codiander and curry leaves and loosely lid the pan and keep it for 5 minutes in low flame. Now the dish is ready to eat with Onion Raita.
Onion Raita is nothing, but, finely sliced onions mixed with fresh curd.
