Rakulpreet Singh is making sure that she spends her time in isolation in a healthy way — whether it is sipping an immunity drink, exercising regularly, or preparing nutritious meals. So it’s no surprise that the actor took to Instagram and posted a picture with a caption that debunks the myth that rice is fattening. “On the contrary, it’s the easiest form of carbs to digest for the body. It heals the gut which in turn helps in better absorption of nutrients,” she wrote.

Steps

*In a preheated kadhai, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil and let it heat for 30 seconds. To it, add finely chopped garlic, ginger and saute. Once it turns a little brown, add green beans. Next, add onion and golden fry it for 2 minutes.

*Then add carrots, baby corn and give it a good mix. Cook for two minutes and add chopped green pepper.

*Next, add the shredded cabbage and saute it for about three minutes. Add a teaspoon of soya sauce and tomato ketchup each, red chilly sauce, black pepper and mix well.

*Add salt to taste, but be careful since the sauces will have some already. Then add 2 cups of pre-cooked rice. Keep mixing until the vegetables have nicely mixed with the rice.
