I have been incorporating brown rice in my meals as much as I can. So this recipe is evolved from that attempt. I have used four different kinds of lentils to add protein. It’s a meal itself with yogurt, raita or pickle.
Ingredients:
1. Brown Rice - 1 Cup
2. Lentils - 1/2 Cup
3. Onion- 1 Medium
4. Sweet Potato - 1 Medium
5. Cilantro - 2 Bunch
6. Cumin Seeds - 1 TSP
7. Muster Seeds - 1 TSP
8. Green Chili- 1 or as per taste
9. Turmeric- 1 TSP
10. Vegetable Oil - 1 TSP
11. Pulav Masala - 1 TSP
12. Salt - As per taste
Optional:
1. Vegetable Broth- 3 Cups (Instead of water)
Optional:
1. Vegetable Broth- 3 Cups (Instead of water)
Method:
1. Start Instant Pot on sauté setting for 5 min. Add vegetable oil, mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once those start to sputter, add green chili.
3. Once onion is translucent, add sweet potatoes and give it a good stir. Wait for 2/3 min for those to cook.
4. Add chopped cilantro.
5. Add brown rice and lentils. I have used masoor, pigeon, azuki, split peas.
6. Add 3 cups of water or vegetable broth salt and pulav masala.
7. Close the lid for instant pot and set it to Rice mode. Make sure to close the vent. If you are choosing pressure cooker mode then set it to 12 min at low pressure.
8. Once the instant off turns off, let the steam cool down, say about 10 min. The cilantro rice is ready. You pait it with yogurt or raita.
Healthy yummy
