Brown rice kadhamba sadham

Kadhamba sadham is prepared with red gram / thuvaram paruppu and country vegetables like brinjal, drumstick, raw banana, avaraikai, pumpkin etc. I used brown rice instead of regular white rice, it was tasting really good compared to white rice. Best healthy lunch box item for both adults and kids.
