As I sit back and open my laptop to write today’s post, I realize that Diwali has come and gone. Making sweets, cleaning the house, buying new clothes, inviting friend’s n family over, colouring diyas at home, drawing rangoli early morning, some chaos and lots of planning to the very last details, has been achieved successfully.
With the festivities over, its time to get back to reality, have to face the fact that I have gorged on all my favourite sweets n savories for the last 10 days. Its time to start my running routine and work off all the calories that I have accumulated.
Other than soups n salads which I am very fond of, this brown rice pulao with mixed vegetables is a delicious way to start detoxifying.
The addition of Beetroot - a rich source of potent antioxidants and nutrients gives it a dark red colour which makes the pulao more appetizing. Have it just as it is or with curd / plain dal, its one bowl of wholesome goodness.

Steps

1

Wash the brown rice under running water, drain the water and set aside. I used Dawat Brown Rice – it cooks fast, does not need a pressure cooker and you do not need to soak the rice.
2

Wash, chop, dice all the veggies, mince the garlic pods – keep all the ingredients ready. You can add any other vegetable of your choice.
3

Take a non-stick / heavy bottom pan; you can also do this in the pressure cooker. Add 2 tsp of olive oil, once hot add the minced garlic, sauté for a minute.
4

Now add the vegetables, sauté for 5 minutes or till the vegetables just start to cook.
5

Add the washed rice, mix all the ingredients together, add 1 ½ cups of water.
6

Add salt, adjust the seasoning, cover and cook for 12- 15 minutes or till the rice is done.
7

Serve hot!
