Jevarisi Chitranna | Sago Mixed Vegetable Rice

Jevarisi Chitranna or Sago Mixed Vegetable Rice is an interesting rice dish from Karnataka made with mixed vegetables and spice powders using Sago and Rice.

I adapted this recipe from Viji’s private site. I always enjoy reading her post that has so many interesting facts about life in general along with dishes from different cuisine.

This delicious rice is paired with Pineapple Gojju, along with some papads and kosumbari. I couldn’t lay my hands on Pineapple and so I just had to do with this rice and papad.

This recipe uses an equal amount of sago with basmati rice, though you won’t be able to see the sago as it gets mixed with the rice. You get to taste it only when you eat it. It's different rice as it also uses a spice powder in the final mix.

Jevarisi Chitranna is the pick for H in the AtoZ Quick Under 30 Minutes, which is my theme in the Biryanis, Pulaos, Khichdis, and Mixed Rice, where I am doing Quick Under 30 Minutes Meals. If you want to read some elaborate Biryanis, check out what I have for J in Spice your Life!
