#PC26 Kutchi Khari Bhaat is a highly popular spiced, savory rice dish from the Kutch region of Gujarat – India. Traditionally made with ghee, whole garam masala, onions, potatoes, and tomato offering a fragrant, slow-cooked taste. It is a simple yet celebrated staple, often served with curd or raita, and acts as a common staple in both daily meals and festive occasions. It can be prepared in wok. But I like to prepare it in the pressure cooker, which is time saver and makes it fast. My family likes to enjoy Khari Bhaat with Dahi, Papad, and a glass of chaas (buttermilk)
