I am not a big fan of cooking. I like to keep it simple, quick with little effort from me and something that's tasty when placed on my tongue. It is not an easy feat, so I end up experimenting.
How to make it
what you need
Pressure cooker (not necessity, but makes cooking easy)
brown rice
split green gram (moong dal, or use any lentil of choice)
carrots
peas
baby corn
any other veggie of choice. I like to add corn kernels, beans. You can add broccoli etc as well.
turmeric
ghee (clarified butter, can substitute with olive oil for vegans)
star anise (only for flavour, can be skipped)
tiny cinnamon stick (only for flavour, can be skipped)
bay leaf (only for flavour, can be skipped)
yogurt side (can be replaced with a sauce of choice by vegans)
salt to taste ( I use rock salt)
I use organic ingredients where possible and available easily, like rice, dal, spices, ghee, and some veggies.
I use hand pounded brown rice as I feel its easier on the stomach than complete brown rice coming from machines. I like to think that our ancestors used hand pounded rice, so I stick to that (no idea on any scientific merit).
cooking part
Add brown rice, dal, peas in a pressure cooker (or vessel used for boiling) and wash them thoroughly ( I am a little paranoid, so I wash everything thoroughly and repeat a few times).
now cut carrots and baby corn and veggie of choice (after washing each) and add to cooking vessel.
add sufficient water (brown rice needs more water to cook than regular white rice).
add turmeric, star anise, cinnamon stick, bay leaf and ghee (or olive oil).
close lid and boil. I use pressure cooker, and add enough water for 7 whistles.
Once cooked, it looks like below.
The advantage with pressure cooker is that I can get back to work while I wait for the whistles to alert me on cooking stage. That way I am expending least effort to get my meal to table.
How to serve
Add the cooked dish to a plate spreading it evenly.
sprinkle salt to taste
serve with a side of yogurt or sauce of choice. I personally like to add yogurt on top and mix it with the preparation well, adjust salt again as yogurt is bland and may need a little extra salt.
What about dessert you say?
Of course there is dessert on the menu. Again, nothing fancy, but to my liking.
I love to finish my meal with 2 dates.
These are Kimia dates from my local grocery store.
I have been mostly blogging about blockchain, but even blockchain bloggers get hungry and have little time to cook. On some other day I may share a more extravagant recipe. I need to get back at analysing ICOs, so bye for now.
