A spicy rice delicacy, which makes a perfect main course on days when you find yourself a bit too busy to cook anything elaborate.


All you have to do is temper the brown rice and sprouts with just a spoonful of oil, and let them pressure cook together while you complete other chores.


The whole spices give this Spicy Sprouts Pulao a fantastic aroma and flavour, which makes it unnecessary to prepare an elaborate accompaniment.


Just a cup of chilled, low-fat raita is enough to round off this tasty one-pot meal. Moreover, sprouts are easier to digest and give you abundant calcium, iron and fibre, making this a really wholesome meal too.

A good way to sneak in sprouts in our diet... with the use of brown rice this delicacy has been made healthy. Have this masaledar rice with a bowl of low-fat curds and a bowl of salad for a satiating meal.

Sprouts with rice make a healthy combo and cooked only in 1 tsp of oil.
