Today i want to share this recipe as i find it really satisfying and full of nutrients. Fenugreek leaves are rich in minerals and fiber. I do not know the exact reason but they are supposed to be very helpful for new moms.

So here is the recipe-

Ingredients

1 cup rice (soaked for 15 min)
1 cup chopped fenugreek leaves
1 cup diced onion
1 slit green chilli
1/2 cup yellow lentils (soaked for 15 min)
1/2 cup peas
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste
a pinch of turmeric
salt to taste
Coriandar for garnishing

For tempering
1 tbs oil
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 sprig of curry leaves

Method

• Take a deep pan and add oil. Add the fennel seeds,onions, green chilli and curry leaves. Fry for 10 min til onions change into light brown color. Add ginger garlic paste,turmeric and fry for 1 min.

• Add chopped carrot,fenugreekleaves and peas and cook for 10 min. You can add chopped mint leaves too..it will add extra flavour to the rice.

• Now add the soaked rice and yellow lentil and mix it well. For 1 cup of rice, add 2 1/2 cups of water. Again mix it well. Cover it with a lid and let it cook on high for at least 10 min till the water is almost gone..when it is half cooked. Now put it on simmer and let it cook for 10 more min.Keep mixing in between so that it is properly cooked.

Once it is ready, garnish it with coriandar.Serve hot with either raita or lemon pickle!!

I generally make this when i am in a hurry..because it just takes 30 min to cook this once your ingredients are ready. I think i should tag it under 30 min meals

unfortunately..i do not have a photo of this rice..because by the time this dish is done….i get soo hungry that i just eat it. haha i will take a pic next time!!
