Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of cooked Sona Masoori rice
  • 1 3/4 cups of water
  • 1/2 tbsp of A2 ghee
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of mixed vegetables, such as carrots, peas, and bell peppers
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the A2 ghee or oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Add the cooked rice to the pan and stir to coat it with the ghee and vegetables. Cook for another minute or two to lightly toast the rice.
  • Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Stir everything together.
  • Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the rice simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve hot.

Power Tips and Variations:

  • You can add boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs to the dish. Dice or slice the chicken and cook them separately before adding them to the rice.
  • Enhance the meal with a salad on the side for added fiber and raw enzymes. Create a simple onion-tomato kachumber salad with boiled beets. Sprinkle lemon juice, rock salt, and jeera powder over it.

Notes

  • This dish is rich in antioxidants and nutrients like iron, calcium, manganese, and B vitamins, vitamins K and E.
  • The complex carbohydrates in hand-pounded rice provide a steady supply of energy, help maintain stable blood sugar levels, and promote feelings of fullness and satiety.
