Coriander leaves Pulao |
ಕೊತ್ತಂಬರಿ ಸೊಪ್ಪಿನ ಪುಲಾವ್
This is an amazing recipe made by using lots of fresh coriander leaves. It is simple yet a healthy one pot meal which can be packed for school/Office as well. Coriander has multiple health benefits such as, it is a wonderful source of dietary fiber, Iron , manganese etc. It is rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin K and protein. Coriander lowers the bad cholesterol (LDL) and increases the level of good cholesterol (HDL). They say it is good for treating Alzheimer’s disease.
Coriander is a good food for digestive systems, promotes liver functions and diabetes patients as well as it can stimulate the insulin secretion and lower the blood sugar levels….. And I have used plenty of coriander leaves in this recipe. Apart from all these it contains anti-inflammatory properties and that is why it is good against inflammatory diseases such as Arthritis.
Today I recreated my own recipe (it feels very nice to do so), which I had posted earlier (on 13/9/15) on my blog. I have adopted some changes and recreated it. Not much difference in taste….. it tasted equally good, it’s just like an addition of some more vegetables…that’s it!
However this time I have taken step wise pics as well and now going to upload the same. I have written ‘(addition)’ in those places where I have made changes. If in a hurry you can skip all the ‘(addition)’ and prepare this rice and I promise you’ll not be compromising in any way.
I insist you all to definitely try this recipe at least once…And I’m sure you’ll make it time and again, Because it is , no doubt a wonderful healthy recipe. I add roasted and crushed peanuts at the end to retain that crunchiness, or else you can add it to the boiling water itself.
