| Vegetable rice with spices and yogurt |
In this recipe we add vegetables and spices to the rice and cook in a rice cooker.We save time by cooking the vegetables along with the rice. Rice absorbs the juices from the vegetables and becomes tasty. One negative factor is that I am adding potatoes which are also starchy.
This spicy rice eliminates the need of many accompaniments to the finished rice. Some fried vegetables and some dips and sauces or pickles would suffice.
It is great with cucumber raita. (cucumber salad with yogurt)
