Sprouts Rice .. !!

Hello Guys .. !! As I have mentioned earlier .. I want to lose some weight and for that I need to cook and eat healthy . So I have decided to cook food with very little oil and with more veggies . So here I came with a simple and healthy recipe which is very rich in protein.

You need :

Rice : 1 cup uncooked

Onions: 1 small cup

Sprouts (green moong) : 1 cup

Beans : 1 small cup

Ginger: Grated 1 Tbsp

Green chillies : 5 Slit

Jeera/Cumin powder : 1 Tbsp

Curry Masala : 1 tsp

Salt : adjust to taste

Chaat masala : 1tsp (optional)

Lemon juice : 1 Tbsp

Oil : 1 Tbsp

Water : 1 small cup

Method:

1. Cook the rice and keep aside. You can use white rice or Brown rice , here I didnt had enough time to cook brownrice .. so i used white rice

2.Take a pan and heat the oil . after that add the onions and green chillies , I like my food to be spicy so I used Thai chillies but you can use any chillies depending upon your taste ..

3.Grate the ginger and add them to the onions.I have a small cute grater which I use to grate directly when I am cooking .. you can see it in the pictures..

4. Fry them till the onions turn translucent and then add the sprouts , beans . Here I used only 2 Main ingredients .. but you can use as many vegggies you can .. I used Frozen soy beans here because it is easy to cook as it takes very less time .

5. Add the water and let the beans and sprouts cook for few minutes.

6. Once they are done .. add Cumin powder , salt,curry masala , chaat masala and lemon juice . again you can red chilli powder if you want .. but instead I added curry masala which gives nice aroma and taste. chaat masala is completely optional I added because I like the chatpata flavor and lemon juice is for tanginess .

7. Mix well and then add the cooked rice . Blend the rice and sprouts together gently with spatula so that rice and beans wont get mushy .

8. Serve hot. You can serve this along with raitha/yogurt/chilled curd.
