It's called Peach or Peech in the local Hyderabadi dialect. In other words, this is a simple one with nothing but only that of cooked Rice water and little Salt. Look at the thick water that's collected while draining the cooked Rice. This one is Starch and is still a poor man's food.
This is extremely beneficial for people suffering from dehydration and fever. It's an easy one that calms and soothes the irritating Stomach lining. It not only gives strength to an ailing person but also provides better immunity to fight against the antibodies. This contains Starch which is an important source of energy. Starchy food provides B Vitamins, Iron, Calcium and Folate. It's a myth that it makes us fat. All in all, a very easy energetic food that keeps you full while you recover.
Happy Cooking with Zee!

Steps

25 minutes

1

Wash and soak Rice as required. Cook with enough drinking water on medium-high heat. Add a bit more of water than you usually do because we are eventually collecting the same thickened Starchy water. Add Salt as desired. Or you can skip here and add it later to the Starchy water collected.
2

Keep stirring it as and when required. After it is cooked, drain the remaining thick Starchy water or Peech as it's called here.
3

Stir in some Salt, Ghee, and chopped Coriander Leaves. serve it right away. You will love to sip it. This is my maternal home's way of making it. My Grandmom makes it this way. But it's all your choice and preference. Plain Salted Starchy water or serving it in this way, it's still the same and absolutely beneficial to our body's immunity. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
