This is a popular rice preparation from Kutch, Gujarat. Khari bhat means spicy rice. It is prepared almost the same as masala bhat. Traditionally this dish is cooked using whole spices, onion and potatoes but you can even add more vegetables according to your liking. This rice is cooked easily and quickly still it is really delicious in taste. It can be served along with curd or raita, papad and pickle. This is a perfect lunch box or one pot meal recipe which is really delicious and flavourful.
