This is a spicy pulav cooked with diabetic rice. Diabetic rice is basically parboiled basmatic rice, which is sold in the markets as low-glycemic rice or diabetic rice. I usually cook this rice with plenty of water in a open pot and drain the water to reduce the starch. This rice is actually very starchy, so this method of cooking will be better for this variety of rice rather than in a rice cooker or pressure cooker.
Ingredients:
1. Parboiled diabetic rice, cooked, 2 cups. I cooked the rice in plenty of water in an open pot and drained the water and let the rice cool. This process removes the excess starch in the rice.
2. Thinly sliced onion, 1 cup.
3. Finely chopped tomatoes, 1/2 cup.
4. Green chilies, 2. cut into halves.
5. Ginger-garlic paste, 1 tablespoon.
6. Chopped mushrooms, 1 cup.
7. Green peas, 1/2 cup.
8. Turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon.
9. Chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon.
10. Garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon.
11. Curry leaves, chopped coriander and mint leaves for garnish.
12. Salt as per taste.
Preparation:
Heat a pan with two tablespoons of oil. Add the sliced onions and saute them until they turn brown. Now add the tomatoes, mushrooms, green chilies , ginger-garlic paste and keep sauteing until everything is blended well. Now add turmeric powder, chili powder, garam masala, green peas and salt and mix everything well. Cook under low flame until the spices lose their raw smell and everything is well cooked. Add the rice now and mix gently without breaking the rice. Garnish with chopped herbs and serve.
