Description
This is a recipe I have been having since when I was a kid, it used to be a healthy one-pot quick meal for us made by mom. As I grew up I saw myself making this often when I was in a hurry or getting back late from work.
This is a complete meal in itself as it has both rice & plant-based protein from black/Bengal gram. Thus this makes for a highly nutritious meal rich in iron, protein, and potassium that keeps you full for long. If you wish to increase the fiber
content pls feel free to use brown rice, I have used basmati rice here.
