Hyacinth Beans Rice / Anapa Ginjala Annam


Coming to the final day of recipe in Blogging marathon #65 themed under bookmarked recipes is from Usha's blog.
She shared authentic Telangana recipes for April mega Marathon and I bookmarked few recipes.One such interesting rice preparation she shared is anapa ginijla annam.Hyacinth beans aka mochai is called as Anapakaya in Telugu.
Here we get frozen hyacinth beans and often I make curry out of it.But for the first time I made the rice and it came out so good.The rice is mildly spiced and flavored with fresh fenugreek leaves and mint.It goes very well with a spicy veg or non-veg curry.We had it with chicken kurma and it was so perfect for our early dinner.Also I used the rice cooker to cook this rice,it can be made with pressure cooker too.Off to the recipe........
