Miriyala Annam || Pepper Rice || Milagu Sadam || Menasu anna

Pepper Rice || Miriyala Annam || Milagu Sadam || Menasu anna with step by step pics and tips. Hai friends how are you all, please stay at home, stay hygiene and eat healthy food. We all fight against this virus by maintaining social distancing. I know we have very limited groceries and vegetable available at home, do not overcook your food, do not waste food. Try to eat healthy food to boost your immunity system. Before lock down i purchased few spices, dal, vegetables like beetroot , carrot, potatoes, onions which stay for long period. Pepper rice is very tasty, spicy and aromatic rice variety prepared in jiffy with fresh or left over rice. It is very handy that we can prepare it with minimum & easily available ingredients from our pantry. We can prepare this just by adding pepper powder too but frying spices in ghee gives good taste to rice. You can also use leftover pepper masala to prepare Pepper Rasam / Miriyala charu. When serving this to your kids make sure that you add less pepper as it tends to burning in stomach because of pepper. This is my today's lunch i served it with thick curd and some papads, gold fingers(gottalu).  



It is No Onion No Garlic version which we can serve as prasadam during festivals like Navaratri, Diwali. Pepper gives good relief from cough and cold, prevents gastric problems. Thing to remember is in take of pepper in more quantity will lead to stomach burning. So please take care while using it, having buttermilk, lassi will keep your tummy cool.
