Drumstick Leaves, Brown Rice & Dal Bhath

We are having a nasty hot weather, i dont felt like cooking for hours in kitchen as the climate is super humid.I cant live without my pressure cookers,they makes really our lives easier and anything cooked with them goes hardly for less time when compared with the dishes cooked in pans or in kadais.Obviously i opted for a hearty and healthy one pot meal with mixed dals,brown rice and drumstick leaves for our yesterday's lunch. This dish will definitely goes for quick cooking and you can enjoy this food anytime of the day served simply with papads, potato chips or else pickles.I used organic Brown sona masoori rice with toor dal,masoor dal and moong dal along with fresh drumstick leaves. You can also add veggies in this healthy food or else any other greens as you prefer.

This healthy dal bhath makes an excellent meal for any ages, pack them in a lunch box am sure once can have a satisfying meal. Adding greens makes this already healthy one pot meal more healthier and simply rich in Iron as drumstick leaves are known very much for their iron content. This dal bhath is my kid's favourite, he loves this fantastic one pot meal simply with papads for his lunch while the elder one love to have this incredible comforting food with fried eggs. Yes each and everyone at home have their own way of having this healthy food.Am sending this healthy dish to Indus Ladies Kids Lunch Box Recipes.
