VEGETABLE BATH

Who does not aware of vegetable bath!!! Its easy to make & tasty too. But few people think this is one of the boring dish because of all vegetable in it. But, When something spicy, it becomes favorite by itself.

I have a suggestion here. You need not add many vegetables here. Can keep to 2 varieties and also use panner and peas (mutter). When you have cooked rice and nothing to eat. This recipe helps in easy cooking and when you are bored of sambar and rasam, try this and share your opinions with me.

INGREDIENTS

Cooked rice- Fluffy, 2 cups

Beans and Potato- cut into eatable size, both should be 1 cup todether

Cumin/Jeera- 2 tb sp.

Red chilli powder/sambar powder (the one used for bisi bele bath is apt) - 1 1/2 tb sp.

Mustard seeds and oil

salt to taste

Coriander leaves - to garnish

Green chilli- 1 or 2 (Optional. for more hot/spicy taste)

Curry leaves- 2-4

Jaggery or sugar- 1/2 tb sp.

Tamarind paste- 1/2 tb sp.

COOKING

1. Keep cooked rice aside by spreading on a plate.

2. On a pan cook beans and potato or any other vegetables of 15 minutes. Open cooking is preferable than cooking in pressure cooker. This makes good taste. Keep it aside.
