Mixed Beans Tomato Rice is a fibre and protein rich one pot meal. The dish is very nutritious. Rice is rich in starch, an excellent source of energy. Rice also has iron, vitamin B and protein. Beans also contain a good amount of iron and an even greater amount of protein than rice. I have mixed some of his favorite beans, along with basmati rice and some Indian spices tempered in oil with some mustard & curry leaves pairing turmeric and garam masala. It was really easy to prepare, tasty and a healthy meal.
