The Complete Ayurvedic Cookbook - The Eumundi Medicine Man

Ingredients:
33BOne cup basmati
34BPinch salt
Two Cups Water
BASMATI RICE
Natural white rice
Low on the sugar index, the best!
Rice & Bread
Wash the rice three times, add boiling water, simmer with a lid on for 15-20 minutes,
add ghee or butter on top.
When very busy, I cook many one pot wonders, by adding peas and vegies to the rice.
Some vegies need to be added after 5-10 minutes so they do not overcook and become
mushy.
SPICED RICE - The one-pot wonder
Simple, tasty and digestive!
Cook your rice as normal, toss in a few vegies if you want that one pot wonder!
Remember to cook brown rice much longer than white basmati. If your digestion is
poor white basmati is preferred over brown rice.
In a separate pot add 1-2 Tablespoons of ghee, fry grated ginger, pop some mustard
seed and then add Cumin seed. In 30 seconds add a pinch of fenugreek seed. Stir a
few times, remove from the heat and add a pinch of asafoetida. Stir a few times and
hold back the spices with a spoon before pouring the spiced ghee into the cooked rice.
Serve with a spoon of yoghurt, toasted pappadam and slice of lime. Drink a little hot
water with dinner and if digestion is low add Apple Cider Vinegar to the water.
