Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
  3. 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.
  4. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Stir everything together.
  5. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the rice simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Serve hot.
Power Tips and Variations:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
