MASALA RICE - A one pot healthy delicious meal thats ready in 30 minutes!

I thought I could cook until I tried curry, over and over . . . So I'd given up on Indian, with a shelf full of spices . . . But this one worked! I'm back. The book is now a MUST have!

[@leilaally8640]

I'm salivating!😊😋😋😊

[@ashadayana655]

Amazing. Will certainly make it. The best part of your videos is that nostalgia melodious Indian music at the end.💕💕🎶🎶

[@arthurcabay2762]

Looks yummy thanks for that recipe, will try that at home😊❤

[@Apocalypz]

Oh I do love skin-on potato in all my dishes. So happy to see it here. I must head to the shop for the ginger -- ran out yesterday -- and will make this for dinner tonight. Lovely recipe!

Looks yummy. Love your recipes. Will try it tomorrow. Like a vege BIRIYANI Thank you Chetna

[@artistlovepeace]

Masala means to me almost curry or spice blend like curry. In my midwest world I only ever heard curry... but after seeking, learning and searching for Indian dishes on the internet I've heard about masala. I love Indian food. One of my favorite.

[@vivianehiggs2893]

I’ve been watching British tv about children being fed fast food and all the problems they experienced then your video pops up, what a contrast😂 ❤from California

[@FoodwithChetna]

😂👍🏼

[@KellyWebb-bz7to]

That looks delicious 😋

[@FoodwithChetna]

so so good

[@chalinivictor2593]

I also tell people that masala is a blend of spices.. and that different masalas can have the same spices but in different proportions that make the taste of the curry different

[@FoodwithChetna]

exactly

[@christopherjohnston2834]

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge❣️

[@FoodwithChetna]

you are very welcome

[@JanetBrown-px2jn]

Looks like my kind of dish,love Indian flavors,and rice.I have Hing,it took me a while to find it as I shop in Bangladeshi supermarkets,and they don’t use it,I asked them for it,but the guys didn’t know what I was looking for, finely I found it myself,they have so many packages,jars,and boxes it wasn’t easy for my eye to locate it.

[@londaedwardsrau3245]

I can almost taste it as I watch you take a bite.

[@AndrewHarald-lo7yb]

Hello 👋🏻

[@steviemac9055]

Fantastic! I'm going to make this for my wife 🙂Thank you!

[@bennyboost]

This dish + the roast tandoori chicken you did your mum a few years ago would be heaven. Add in a few glasses of wine and good company and I couldn't imagine anything better!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yum yum!

[@nalinigunawardana1461]

The masala rice looked beautiful I bet it tastes nice I am Sri Lankan we also make same kind of rice dishes like lum price mixtures of veggies and nuts and spices for special ocations and weddings tastes lovely thank you I will try this dish and my family will love it thanks

[@Anna-e5d8n]

Thanks for the recipe. Deep products sells frozen fresh grated coconut which is very convenient. It is frozen in a thin slab so you can just break off a piece while still frozen. It is easily available here in Canada even in some of the mainstream grocery stores. It is many years since I have bought a fresh coconut and grated it at home.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks for sharing.....

[@margaretbalson4396]

Great video Chetna! Loved that we don’t need to see every bit of chopping! Will definitely try this one!

Hey there

[@briolewale7230]

Thanks I am a subscriber of yours from Papua New Guinea, looking forward to making this

[@jobond3317]

Looks so yummy. I wonder could you use vegetable stock instead of water or would that change the flavours too much

[@monogramadikt5971]

im just finishing the first day of a fast that i intend to finish in 7-11 days but after watching this im already feeling hungry :) lol

[@k.okeefe3125]

Can I substitute fresh coconut with some coconut milk? And excited for a new rice dish to swap out my Asian-inspired fried rice.

[@rickyestevez4698]

I'm sure it's a delicious dish but the number of ingredients is quite impressive and are not easily found or inexpensive. This is definitely one for the more experienced cooks with a well stocked pantry..

[@FoodwithChetna]

are you serious? these are some of the cheapest things to buy and available easily in all supermarkets.....

[@annfulcher407]

Looks delicious. I might have missed it, but what kind of rice did you use?

[@FoodwithChetna]

basmati

[@elijahheyes9061]

Thank you as always Chetna 🙏🏻

[@FoodwithChetna]

My pleasure 😊

[@reshmapatel325]

That is my kind of food.

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼

[@janetserrano3258]

That looks delicious! What kind of rice did you use? Basmati? And what substitutions are there for the fresh coconut? Thank you!

[@FoodwithChetna]

I used basmati and can you get hold of desiccated? you can rehydrate it and use that

[@behramcooper3691]

I'm going to try it. But I'm going to include some Chana Dal or Moong Dal with the rice and make a Khichdi. That would be a complete meal.

[@FoodwithChetna]

go for it 👍🏼

[@JillGF]

My version- changed the veg to suit and used dedicated coconut. It tastes wonderful

[@AndrewHarald-lo7yb]

Hello 👋🏻

[@suhaskhamgaonkar6322]

Often times Maharashtrians make masale bhat for auspicious occasions like a festival when there’s a puja performed. On those occasions adding onions and garlic to any of the food that day is avoided. Also, dessicated coconut may be substituted for fresh. Thank you for sharing!

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@ahnanda68]

Whatever that plant is right next to you is pretty cool, still trying to think what it is?? Anyway time to make some rice this looks GREAT!

[@swissswiss624]

Chetna, can you do a rice tutorial? How much water to rice ratio, gas level, cover or not cover....etc? I can never get my rice to come out perfectly fluffy and loose...

[@FoodwithChetna]

wow you read my mind, coming next week.....

[@anulachowdhury8964]

Hello Chetna Ji , can you share a few versions of homemade Indian masala chips … in India potatoes and raw bananas are commonly used for chips It would be fun to see your version of homemade chips !!!

[@BrianDouglas-g4j]

I LIKE KZbinR FOOD WITH CHETNA VEGETARIAN DISH.

[@tmargaretobrien]

Is a long grain rice best to use? Would a short grain work as well?

[@dhavalsoni7793]

Same you add pavbhaji masala in rice it's taste good

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes 😊

[@Isham246]

This looks so good. Going to make it. Can I pls ask what’s that little grinder thing you used to make it into a powder? I need to buy one of those

[@JillGF]

Some blenders come with a small coffee grinder I use that

[@agaw3484]

That looks gorgeous, Chetna! 🤤 Mental note: must cook soon! ✅ I have to say, I used to find the combination of potato and rice (i.e. 'double carbs') odd but it's slowly growing on me 😅 However, I'm thinking that maybe a carrot, or squash, could be used instead of potato when one fancies more veg and less starch? Would you personally recommend any other veg that could also go in for added variety?? Thanks! ♥️

[@natashab6245]

Yummmmm

[@FoodwithChetna]

thanks

[@dhavalsoni7793]

Even I like onion garlic Masala in rice that rice taste good

[@Crus072]

Hi, I was wondering, the coriander seed I buy here in Holland is much smaller. Does it make a difference in taste?

[@artistlovepeace]

I refrigerate for one day any leftover vegetable or fruit... after that I put it in the freezer and date it so I know when to use it up or when to toss it after months. Usually a year or six months. It's a wonderful way to not waste food and have a variety of possibilities and flavors available for stews and soups. You can freeze almost anything. Cilantro, parsley, chives, garlic, onion, tomato, meat, rice, noodles... anything basically.

[@Jessejrt1]

Thank you for explaining the term "masala." As someone who didn't grow up eating Indian food a lot of the terms can be a bit confusing and interchangeable.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Its called "Tehri" in M.P. and U.P. ... Rice, vegetable and pulses with different masalas.

My wife will not eat coconut. What could I substitute for it?

[@FoodwithChetna]

Why not try another of my veg pulao recipe, this is the only one with coconut!

[@carolthomas8528]

Mmmmh !

[@_helmi]

I let out a small groan every single time an ingredient gets into the pan - a big groan when I see ghee is added and I am making this TONIGHT! I was thinking of substituting the coconut flesh with coconut milk but then I thought the dish called for nutty instead of creamy flavour of coconut. So I supposed kerisik (Malaysian here) would much a much closer substitute. Kerisik is pre-toasted grated coconut readily available at the supermarket.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks for the info, really appreciate it

[@harism5589]

I tried this recipe in a thin bottom pan. I got nicely charred dark brown rice in the bottom. It has burnt smell, not nice. I guess trick is to use cast iron pan.

[@Eristotl3]

Hing... gag the only spice my American palate cannot take.

[@virginiasenophdrn5921]

Lovely! Spectacular! Use cauliflower rice instead if blood blood sugar is an issue. Use broccoli or squash w potato instead of cauliflower. And no seed oils! Look up why to avoid those.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yeah I dont believe in calling that rice, its just grated cauliflower ☺️

[@virginiasenophdrn5921]

@@FoodwithChetna many people need grated cauliflower (whatever you believe in naming it). Rice is too much of a blood sugar spike. Absolutely not beneficial for health. That’s why suggested.

When using potato please remove the little growth on the potato. Also did not mention washing the cauliflower and potato. Otherwise the recipe is interesting.
