Rekha's Notes
- Soak soya in salted water to avoid bland tasting sabji.
- You can make the same recipe without a microwave.
- To make it heart-healthy I used olive oil. You can use any unrefined oil of your choice or even ghee.
- If you do not have coloured bell peppers/capsicum you can use a single colour of capsicum. It will not affect the taste. But the colour of the sabji can change depending upon which coloured bell peppers you are using.
If you are using any other microwave,
In a microwave-safe bowl add olive oil, cumin seeds, green chillies and mix them with oil.
Set timer for 3 minutes on medium power.
After the beep add in the finely chopped onion and capsicum tomatoes, turmeric powder, chilli powder, garam masala and salt.
Set timer for 8 minutes on medium power.
Now once again when microwave beeps, take out the bowl and add this cooked masala in cooked dal and rice mixture along with 1/2 cup of milk. Mix everything and place the bowl in the microwave once again.
Set timer for 5 minutes on medium power.
Once microwave beeps your brown rice masoor dal pulao is ready.
(Cooking time in final step may vary as per exact medium power of your microwave, adjust for particular main ingredients used as per your microwave manual)
