Paneer is a show-stealer, and so is any dish that uses it! But you might often hear diabetics complaining that they can’t have rice as it raises blood sugar levels quickly; hence, I have thought of a way by which they can relish all the rice delicacies in healthy paneer varagu pulao without hesitation.

Enter kodri! Kodri is the best replacement for rice as it is fibre-rich and does not alter blood sugar levels quickly. Therefore, I have whipped up paneer matar kodri recipe using low fat paneer, vegetables and kodri. It tastes amazing and I am sure you will not miss rice anymore!

See why we like kodri compared to rice from being lower in calories and higher in fibre. Comparison of calories of different Indian rice varieties. one cup cooked vargu has 119 calories while one cup cooked basmati rice has 274 calories and one cup cooked brown rice has 211 calories.

Kodri takes time to cook, so take care to cook it correctly with the right amount of water added. Learn how to cook kodri with step by step photos.

We love having paneer matar kodri with a glass of chaas for dinner.

You can create a variety of dishes with kodri and so it’s an ingredient worth stocking in your pantry!
