Ghadwali red rice
Introduce your family to the nutritious Ghadwali red rice, with this recipe courtesy Sidharth Bhardwaj, executive chef, JW Marriott Mussoorie Walnut Grove Resort and Spa. It’s a good way to introduce your child to the diverse cuisines of India.
Ghadwali red rice, more popularly known as Laal Chawal, is organically grown in the Purola region of Uttarakhand. This extremely nutritious rice comes with a firm texture and a nutty flavour and requires the same cooking time as that of white rice. The heavy rain in the high altitude Himalayan valleys is partly responsible for its firm texture and interesting flavour.
A perfect substitute for white rice or brown rice, the Himalayan red rice is also an important source of fibres, minerals and antioxidants. Being organically cultivated in the lush Himalayan valleys of Uttarakhand, the red rice is sure to boost your family’s daily dose of nutrition. The red rice is also helpful for patients with high blood sugar level. This dish is often served during fast as it is gluten-free.
