| Sprouted Horsegram Rice (Rosematta Rice) |
Horse gram is one of the most protein-rich lentil but it is also one of the lentil that's been under rated & under utilized. Horse gram (Kollu) can help with a number of health problems as it contains a good and rich amount of vitamins, proteins, and iron. In addition to weight loss, it helps in reduction of extra fat from the body. Horse gram is rich in B-complex vitamin and proteins. It helps in purifying menstruation and cures and prevents arthritis. The presence of a good amount of dietary fiber in the gram helps balance sugar glucose and blood pressure levels. As long as caution is exercised in not consuming excessive quantities of this legume, it is highly recommended to include horse gram in your regular diet.
Sprouting process increases the nutritional value of the horsegram and also sprouts can be easily digested. Its very good to include sprouted grains and legumes in our regular diet practice.
I tried this rice in the similar way as our favourite Kongu special Arisi paruppu sadam with some modifications and it turned out to be great! I used Rosematta rice here and we can use any of our regular cooking rice, brown rice or even with millets. I usually cook it in the Instant pot and I also had given the steps for making it in the pressure cooker.
While making for kids, we can avoid the green chillies and reduce the spice level. Also adding ghee enhances the taste and flavour, drizzle a tsp of ghee over the rice while serving for the kids :)
