Heloo Krishnamma! I share your love of cooking .Kudos for your fantastic collection of mixed rice recipes!(as also other collections)What a painstaking work! :hatsoff...he he he...though I don't wear a hatBig Laugh.Here I just wanted to add another recipe, my g.ma used to make when we were kids, for lunch pack.It is just like our 'ven pongal' but she 1.dry fried the rice and moongdal till it starts to color, and 2.season mustard, urad dal with one or two red chillies broken or whole, and according to individual taste 3.then wash the rice dal mixture and add water, twice or 2 1/2 times 4.add the seasoning 5.Pressure cook like ordinary rice. For nutrirional purposes and variety I have adding peas, onions, (not tomatoes, as it will change the taste) to the seasoning and then add it to the water. It is very delicious and healthy and quick, even works as a one pot meal.Hope you try it and innovate upon that, being an expert.Lots of our friends need more from you.Bow
