Brown rice with veggies

Brown rice is healthier than white rice as it contains parts of the grain kernel. Its also rich in B vitamins.


This recipe needs the following :

Brown rice - 1 cup
Water - 2 cups
Lemon - 1/2
Olive oil -1 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp

And the veggies :
Yellow zuchinni - 1 , peeled, diced and steamed
Green capsicum - 1, diced
Sweet corn (frozen) - 1 cup

The spices used are :
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Pepper - 1/4 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Chicken masala powder - 1 tsp
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp

and a handful of pumpkin seeds

To start, wash the rice thoroughly. For every cup of rice, you need double the quantity of water. To the rice and water, squeeze the juice of half a lemon. Also, add the olive oil. The lemon juice and oil helps to reduce the stickiness of the cooked rice. After adding salt too, pressure cook the rice.

In a sauce pan, add a Tbsp of olive oil. Once it warms up, add the chopped vegetables and corn. Add the spices and pumpkin seeds too. Sautee. As the spices blend in with the veggies, add the cooked brown rice. Stir around. Serve warm.
