Traditional Maharashtrian rice is an amazing combination of spicy flavours. The main flavor is from Goda Masala which is readily available in most of the shops. We can even use garam masala instead of Goda Masala but authentic Masala Bhat has Goda masala in it which has some more unique ingredients in addition to conventional garam masala. Few ingredients in Goda masala like Stone flower, nigel seeds makes this rice more interesting than using regular garam masala. This is a one pot meal and a perfect potluck dish too.
Tips for making Masala Bhaat:
- Soak rice for atleast 15 mins so that the rice gets cooked easily with less water
- The ratio of rice to water is 1:2 if the rice is cooked in a pan. We can also cook the rice in pressure cooker. If you plan to use pressure cook, then use 1:1 ratio of rice to water.
- We can also do the same rice in instant pot. Start the process with saute mode and once you add the water and salt, press the cancel button, close the IP with lid and turn the sealing to Vent. Press the manual/pressure cook for about 4 mins. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 mins. Then force release pressure.
- We can use regular garam masala if you don't have goda masala.
