This is a slightly modified version of the south indian "dahi bhaat". Rich in protein and calcium, this rice dish is just perfect for a cooling summer lunch. The cucumber, carrots and coriander provide fibre and vitamin a. I have used mild flavours, so that it will agree with you even you even during the first trimester.
