yummy we made it today
yummy!! made it for my husband as he has acidity problem , he loved it :)
Not too spicy this rice delicacy will suit people with acidity problems. It''''s a great idea to add veggies like fenugreek and peas to brown rice as plain rice can sometimes be acidic. For me a bowl of chilled curds is the best accompaniment to this recipe.
