Fried Brown rice

As I have previously mentioned brown rice aids in weight loss and also helps in controlling blood sugar level. This brown rice is little mushy and chewy in taste when compared to regular white rice.. Developing a liking towards brown rice and seeing its health benefits added them in the menu small variations with regular rice.
This recipe is simple easy and healthy.

  2. Brown rice (cooked).
  3. Chillies.
  4. Onions.
  5. Salt.
  6. Oil.








Method:
  • Take skillet on a medium  flame add 2-3 tb sp. of oil allow to heat and add chillies, chopped onions and bell pepper.
  • Saute until golden now add all veggies, add salt to taste and stir fry for 3-4 minutes.
  • Now add cooked brown rice(with already salt in it while cooking rice) and stir well...  its READY TO EAT :)
