Lately I’ve been trying to eat more whole-grain foods, but at first I had a hard time getting down plain, whole-grain brown rice. It’s just so heavy and seemed to always get stuck in a ball at the back of my throat. I’ve always loved Indian pilau rice, so I decided to try and make something similar with organic brown rice. This Indian-style brown rice recipe is the result.
As with most Indian dishes, you need a lot of ingredients that you might not have in your kitchen, so a trip to the shops might be in order before you can start making it. In any case, I’ve tried to keep the ingredients list as short as possible and only use the most common Indian herbs and spices. I also added frozen peas to the mix to try and make it into a full meal in itself, although the best thing to do is to top it off with your favourite curry. It also goes quite nicely with my baked tofu in peanut butter sauce recipe.

Note: Now that I enjoy brown rice, I also eat this brown rice salad with pecans and sultanas. Simply scrumptious!

Juicy pineapple goes really well with the subtlety of chicken, and peppers are always mouth-watering when grilled or flame roasted. This side dish is great accompanied by a rice dish. Why not try this Indian-style brown rice? […]
