rice bath recipe | karnataka style vegetable rice bath | rice bhath recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. a unique way of making a flavoured and tasty rice pulao recipe. it is made similar to any other traditional rice-based pulao or pilaf recipe but has an extra hint of flavours with a combination of the masala paste. it is an ideal breakfast and lunch box recipe when served with onion and tomato raita or with any dal recipes.
as i mentioned previously there are many variations to the pulao or bath recipes and this rice bath recipe is one such variation from karnataka. having said that this pulao is not something made and prepared in common households. it is typically made in small hotels and canteens and served for morning breakfast. it is perhaps one of the common rice based breakfast which is served with yoghurt based raita or even with coconut based vegetable kurma. my personal preference is the combination of onion and tomato raita which makes it an ideal combination with this spice loaded rice recipe. it not only adds the sour taste to the rice combo but also lowers the spice heat making it a nice side dish.
furthermore, i would like to highlight some of the tips, suggestions and variations to this rice bath recipe. firstly, i have used sona masuri rice for this recipe which makes it ideal for south indian pulao recipe. having said that you can also use the basmati rice or even ponni raw rice too. secondly, adding the vegetables is completely open ended for this recipe and you can choose whatever you have in your fridge. having said that keep in mind the balance of the veggies and also its boiling time so add it accordingly. lastly, as we add coconut masala for this recipe, it would take time to be absorbed. hence the recipe tastes great when made overnight and served the next day.
finally, i request you to check my other pulao recipes collection with this post of rice bath recipe. it mainly includes recipes like aloo matar pulao, navratan pulao, chana pulao, rajma pulao, tiranga pulao, tomato pulao, matar pulao, carrot rice, yakhni pulao, coriander rice. further to these i would like to highlight my other recipes collection like,
