Brown rice and Sprouted Horse gram Fried rice. 

 கொள்ளு ஃப்ரைட் ரைஸ்

Ingredients:
Cooked Brown Rice ( பழுப்பு அரிசி சாதம்) - 2 cups
Boiled Sprouted Horse Gram ( வேக வைத்த முளைக்கட்டிய கொள்ளுபயறு)  - 3/4 cup
Red Capsicum ( சிகப்பு குடைமிளகாய்) - 1 No.
Green Capsicum ( பச்சை குடைமிளகாய்) - 1 No.
Garlic ( பூண்டு) - 1 whole
Salt to taste ( தேவைக்கேற்ற உப்பு )
Olive oil ( ஆலிவ் எண்ணெய்) - 3 tbsp

Steps:

Peel and finely chop the garlic. Dice both the capsicums.

In a wok, heat olive oil and saute the finely chopped garlic. When fragrant, toss in dices of both the capsicums. Do not let them cook longer, just tossing for a while will do. Capsicums taste better when crunchy than soft.

Add in the boiled horse gram. Add required amount of salt. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes.

Combine the dry mix of horse gram and the cooked rice together. 

My Notes:

The protein, iron and calcium-rich lentil, Horse gram, has slow digestible starch. No wonder, this is fed to horses before races. 

Paired with brown rice, this dish gives a very filling effect even in a small portion. Very ideal for health-conscious people. The sprouted horse gram is easy on the stomach and faster to cook. Soaked horse gram will take less than 2 days to sprout.

I have not used much of spices for the dish except for garlic. A sizable amount of garlic is used to give the rice a pungent flavor of garlic.
The side dish of mixed vegetable curry/ kurma, with all the spices and tomatoes infused in it, will be a great accomplishment.
You can serve the dish with chips, pappads, or pickles. The choice is ours. :)
