Brown Rice Pilaf

Nowadays there are lots of health news saying brown rice is better than white rice. But I could never eat them with sambar or kolambu. They just don't complement each other. I was trying for a long time for a recipe to eat brown rice without making bitter face. At last I found a tasty recipe.

Ingredients:

Brown Rice - 1 cup
Onion chopped  - 1
Garlic minced - 2 to 3 cloves
Bell pepper(Capsicum)  -  1 medium
Mushroom - 1 cup
Spinach chopped - 1 cup
Butter or Olive oil - 3tsp
A pinch of Turmeric
Sambar powder - 1 tsp


Boil the brown rice in 4 cups of water as per instructions ( about 50min).
Drain the cooked rice.


Heat oil in a pan. Saute garlic for 30 seconds and add onion and fry till golden.Add bell pepper,Mushroom with a pinch of Turmeric and cook till they are soft (5min). Add spinach and saute for 5 minutes. Add sambar powder for taste or any masala powder you  like and saute till raw smell goes away. Add the drained rice to it and mix it well. Serve with vegetable or chicken curry.
