Horse gram masala brown rice is a healthy version of a traditional Coimbatore special Arisi parupu satham in which regular rice and toor dal is substituted with brown rice and horse gram. Check out my old posts to know more about the benefits of horse gram which plays a vital role in weight loss. This delicious rice can be served with any veggie curry or raita. Soaking time is very important for brown rice as it helps to cook the rice perfect and fast.
