Rice is a almost everyone's favourite food. It is a high source of carbohydrates than other major staple foods. But other nutrient contents are less in amount in it. Hence, if we can add different pulses, veggies etc. in rice then it will improve its taste and the nutritional value of the dish.
Sprouts and mushroom rice, in this dish I use sprouted green gram. Instead of green gram, you can also add green peas if you like.
This is a flavourful rice dish & extremely healthy. Sprouted grams are rich in protein, fiber content, fatty acid and vitamins. Mushroom is a source of vitamin B and D, it helps to boost immune system. It also acts as antioxidants, kicks up metabolism.
This mildly spiced rice dish is ideal for your kid. It will help to improve your kids growth and development.
Serve hot sprouts and mushroom rice with raita.
