Xacuti Masala Rice

Sharing is caring!

Xacuti Masala Rice is spicy rice made with xacuti masala and mixed vegetables. This is easy rice that can be ahead quickly if you have the masala ready ahead.

The inspiration for the dish came when I was browsing through Suma’s post and I realized I could do the same masala rice too with the Spice Masala I ground. This dish is more of a fried rice type as you saute the vegetables and mix in the rice.

Since I had the coconut pulao ready, I used the same rice. Regular plain basmati rice will be fine for this too. And making with plain basmati rice is, even more, simpler if you have the Xacuti Masala ready. In the last edition, I made Xacuti Masala Dosa and Xacuti stuffed Aloo Paratha.

Xacuti Masala Rice is the pick for X in the AtoZ Quick Under 30 Minutes, which is my theme in the Biryanis, Pulaos, Khichdi, and Mixed Rice. If you want to read some elaborate Biryanis, check out what I have for X in Spice your Life!
