Aloo Mangodi ki Sabzi with Curd

What do you do when you don't have fresh vegetables in your fridge and you are too lazy to go shopping for veggies? I am sure, you first think about what options can you try in place of vegetables and then check your kitchen cupboards for such items as rajma, chhole, soya chunks and of course, mangodi. This happened with me yesterday.

I had gone out of town, to Kolkata, and when I returned a couple of days back, I was welcomed by the empty vegetable basket of my refrigerator. Too tired (and lazy!), I just bought potatoes and tomatoes from the shop outside my place. As usual, it did not have fresh looking vegetables so I avoided buying any of them. Now what? It was then when I decided to make Aloo Mangodi ki Sabzi (आलू मंगोड़ी की सब्ज़ी.)

How to Easily Cook Brown Rice in Pressure Cooker?

I had been reading a lot about brown rice being healthy option than the regular rice we Indians eat. So, I thought of giving a try to it. When I bought the brown rice and brought it home, I had little idea about how tough it is to make brown rice. We really ever realize that preparing rice can also be a tough task given the nature of white rice that takes such a low time and effort to get cooked! However, I just cooked the brown rice in pressure cooker in my own conventional way and when I opened the cooker, it was a shocking scene! The brown rice looked almost similar to its raw state with all water floating above it. I had to really work hard to make it soft (and it never got that soft) to at least eat it. It took me over an hour to make it an edible thing.
