Very similar in taste to rice but healthier, kodri can be used for an unlimited variety of recipes Mexican, Indian and others. The uniqueness of this dish is all thanks to the grinding of garlic and red chilli flakes in a mortar-pestle. Not to forget the splash of colours the coloured capsicums bring in.
It is a wholesome dish full of vegetables, kodri and rajma. And together this combination can give you a calcium and folic acid boost. You can add sweet corn too, as a variation.
