Bagara Rice Recipe | How to make Bagara Rice | Hyderabadi Bagara Rice

Hi friends, thank you all for visting my website and @EATeasyvegrecipes youtube channel. Today's recipe is bagara rice. Bagara rice or bagara khana or bagara chawal is a fragrant and flavorful rice dish that originated from the city of pearls, Hyderabad, India. This traditional Hyderabadi delicacy is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and long-grain basmati rice, resulting in a mouthwatering rice dish. Serve this Hyderabadi bagara rice with any spicy curry. Sometimes we can serve it any dal also. Finding any wedding or party without bagara rice in the menu in Hyderabad city is difficult. Making bagara rice is very easy. Soak rice for sometime, saute all the whole masalas and cook rice along with them, that's it!!! Our bagara rice is ready to serve. But we have to serve a spicy curry along with it otherwise it tastes bland. I serve bagara rice with mixed vegetable curry, bagara baingan, or with meal maker curry. Everytime I keep changing the side dish of course.
