Bhuga Chawal- a sindhi special rice dish made by caramelized sugar and whole garam masala.
Bhuga chawal is a very delicious and flavourful rice made by caramelized sugar and the flavour of whole spices. The caramelized sugar gives a nice brown colour and flavour to the rice. This rice is mostly paired with sindhi specialty sai bhaji. sai bhaji and bhuga chawal is a very popular sindhi combo for lunch .
Sai bhaji is a very healthy curry made with spinach, chana daal, tomatoes and few vegetables. It is boiled, mashed and cooked with less oil. This sai bhaji is either served with this bhuga chawal or with yellow rice. There are 2 versions of making this bhuga chawal, the recipe I am sharing is the sattvik version , without using onions.
To make bhuga chawal , first we have to make tadka with oil, first heat oil and then add sugar in it and let it melt and caramelized on low heat and then add cumin seeds and whole spices in the caramelized sugar and then add water and boil till the sugar melts and mix with water. Now add the powdered spices and the soaked rice, stir, cover and cook on low heat till done.
Enjoy this flavourful rice with sai bhaji , this rice also pairs well with a simple vegetable raita and papad.
