Vegan Rajmah with Green Tea-Germinated Brown Rice
Dark red kidney beans in a curry of fresh ginger, onions, garlic, tomatoes and chilies with toasted cumin and coriander, turmeric and cilantro, served over a bed of green tea-germinated brown rice..
Germinated brown rice is approximately 10-20 times higher in protein and amino acids (including GABA) than white rice. Soaking the rice in freshly-brewed green tea adds a pleasing flavor and increases the medicinal value. It also helps to prevent the rice from spoiling during its 18-24 hour germination period.

Oh my lord – so pretty. The colours are amazing. Very interesting rice too. I really need to get into the interesting types of rice there are. I’ve totally gone of the plain stuff!

Same here. The plain stuff is mostly empty calories anyway.
Thanks!
