Vagharelo Bhaat Recipe - Gujarati Masala Rice

Vagharela Bhaat most often made from leftover rice and cooked in spicy buttermilk is one of the most delicious comfort foods to savor on a cold winter night. Rustic and calming aromas get released when the rice gets cooked in buttermilk that is flavored with asafoetida, red chillies and ginger. Each family from Gujarat has a special way of making the Vagharelo Bhaat Recipe and I attribute this recipe to the way my mother in law and her past generations have been making it. 

Gujarati grandmothers typically serve this dish to children who are suffering from seasonal colds with the belief that the warmth of the dish will help release congestion and aid better eating. 

Serve the Vagharelo Bhaat as a one dish meal as it is or along with Dill Cucumber Raita Recipe,  Aam Ka Achaar Recipe - North Indian Spicy Raw Mango Pickle, Papad as a complete meal.
