Rajgiri Aloo ki Kadhi aur Sama Ke Chawal – A Gluten free , delicious,easy and healthy combo meal for Navaratri fasting

Rajgiri aloo ki kadhi aur Sama ke chawal is a perfect ,healthy low fat combo meal for Navaratri Fasting or any other religious fasting. Rajgiri flour is amaranth flour which is gluten free and also a favorite millet to consume during fasting. Usually we eat fried or shallow fried heavy food on fasting days.

This Rajgiri aloo ki kadhi with sama ke chawal is a healthy ,quick to make and filling low fat combo. This is also cooling for your body and light and easy  to digest.You can have it for lunch or dinner. I love this combo and often make this on regular days too when I am not even fasting. If you are not fasting then you can add your routine spices like turmeric,chili powder in this vrat ke kadhi chawal.

How To Make Rajgiri Aloo Ki Kadhi-

This Ragiri is kadhi recipe is quite similar to the normal besan ki  kadhi we make regularly .I have substituted Rajgiri with besan and used the spices allowed in fasting. This kadhi take less time as compared to the besan ki kadhi because besan takes longer time to cook then rajgiri.

Try using very sour yogurt to make this kadhi else you have to add lemon juice. Green chilies and chopped ginger is added to make it spicy .I always prefer to add green chili ginger chopped or paste in my fasting curry or sabji’s so avoided pepper powder. But you can add pepper powder if you like its flavour.

Heat ghee and asafoetida in the pan and  when it become golden  add chopped green chilies and finely chopped potatoes ,add salt and little water and cook till half done. whisk together sour yogurt, rajgiri aata and water . Add ginger and the curd mixture in the kadhi . Cook for 7-8 minutes on medium heat or till it thicken. When done add chopped fresh coriander and lemon juice in it.

Serve hot kadhi with sama ke chawal , Kuttu poori, Rajgiri Paratha or with your normal roti or rice.

Sama Ke Chawal-

Sama ke chawal/samu/Varai/Moraiyo/samak/kodri/Bhagar/Mordhan/little millet/barnyarn millet  is again a healthy seed which even Diabetic and Heart patients can eat as it is gluten free, have less calorie and less sugar content It is quite small and round in shape.  Sama  ke chawal are mainly used during Navratri, Shivratri and other Religious fasting days.

It Also provides the same nourishment and energy which the normal rice provides. If you are looking for a good substitute of the normal rice then it is surely a healthy and good option. But do remember that sama rice is of hot tasser and you must have some yogurt and enough water if you are consuming sama else you feel thirsty and dehydrated all the time.

How To Make Sama Ke Chawal

Making Sama ke chawal is very easy. If you cook it properly it will taste like normal rice. You can also make sama ke chawal ki khichdi and pulao to serve with Rajgiri aloo ki kadhi

Add ghee and cumin seeds in a heavy bottom pan. Wash sama rice and then add in the tempering and saute . Now add double quantity of water, salt, few crushed pepper corns and chopped ginger. Cover the pan with a lid and cook till all the water get absorbed. Switch off the flame and let it rest for 5 minutes and then open the lid fluff up with a fork. You can also add some raisin and cashew pieces in the tempering ..Serve hot rice with Rajgiri ki kadhi and some fried potato wafers or salad.

    Hi Anjana: Thank you for the recipe. A question about the Sama Rice … when do the raisins go in? Thanks, Dido.

      Hi Dido – the raisins go in at the same time as the sama rice. Reg your earlier comment about timing – in case you do not use a pressure cooker, cook it for a minimum of 20 minutes, and will probably need about 20% more water than what the recipe says.
