Taste is ok but I think it will need 2 cups brown rice for the above vegetable quantity.

To make the recipe a bit healthier, the quantity of rice is less and the quantity of veggies is more in this recipe. However, if you wish you can increase the quantity of brown rice to 2 cups.

Concept of making Mexican rice with lots of veggies and my favourite pulse Rajma..without using oil...is an amazing idea. This rice is loaded with Vitamins and Minerals. Well, to make it more healthy....you can try making it with brown or red rice.
