Brown Rice Pulao

My husband has found a sudden liking towards brown rice so he bought a packet and asked me to cook with it. I went onto the internet and looked at many blogs to see how to cook brown rice and followed the instructions but it never worked as the water they mentioned and the time taken did not work for me! Then I started making brown rice curd rice and brown rice pongal and brown rice bisibellabath where the amount of water added need not be perfect.

And then I decided to follow the instructions given in the packet and it worked beautifully! It is very important to soak the brown rice for atleast 1 hour and then use the amount of water mentioned on the packet. For the brand of brown rice I had, it required only 2.5 cups of water! My brown rice pulao came out perfect!

As I had mentioned in my Brown Rice Pongal post, I found it quite difficult to cook brown rice. It took a few attempts to judge the rice to water ratio. Until I figured that out, I decided to make some easy recipes that are quite forgiving with the water added. So I made plenty of brown rice pongal, brown rice curd rice and this bisbelabath.
This is such a healthy dish and with all the vegetables added, it makes for a filling dish too. My husband and me enjoyed having this bisibelabath. I love bisibelabath and I have started making it with millets too. Check out this varagu arisi bisibelabath.

Cooking brown rice is not an easy task! It definitely takes some getting used to! The problem with brown rice is that, each brand of brown rice needs to be cooked differently. Whatever I read online on how to cook brown rice did not work. I felt really frustrated cooking it and decided to cook something easy with the brown rice. And thus came about this brown rice pongal. Pongal is a very forgiving dish, you can get away with some extra water too! So I made a lot of pongal and brown rice curd rice and bisibellabath until I figured out how to cook brown rice! This is definitely a healthy option and much more filling too.

Brown Rice Curd Rice

I never thought of making this into a post but then I wanted to share that this lovely curd rice can be made more healthy by making it with brown rice instead of white rice. We have started including brown rice in our diet and I tried out this simple and easy curd rice. It came out very well and the taste was just as good! I make millet curd rice too and I like both kinds of curd rice. As usual goes well with just a simple pickle.
