Fry the vegetable of your choice, add the powder and cooked rice and your meal is ready in no time. One such powder is vangibath masala powder. Although the name suggests the masala is for brinjal, this powder goes well with almost any veggie.  Make it and store it. Mix it and enjoy it.

  1. Coriander seeds                        1 Tsp
  2. Chana dal                                 1Tsp
  3. Pepper corns                             1tsp

  7. Cinnamon                                1/2 inch piece
  8. Dry coconut                              2 Tsp(powder)
PROCEDURE
Dry roast all of the  ingredients on a very slow flame and make a fine powder. While frying add the coconut powder at the end or else it gets burnt up.
If storing in a large quantity increase the proportion of the ingredients accordingly.
Coconut decreases the shelf life of the powder, so opt for adding fresh/dry coconut while preparing the rice dish or store the powder in refrigerator.
