Lentil Rice With Vegetables | KaiKari Paruppu Sadham | Lunchbox Recipe

Lentil Rice with vegetables

This is perfect one pot meal. It is quiet similar to paruppu sadham but bit varied due to the addition of vegetables. You can cook this in 10mins excluding the soaked time. I cook this mostly during weekends. If you feel lazy to cook during holidays, then this is your recipe. You can serve this with onion raitha and papad.
