<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's the season of mangoes and this is one fruit that can be consumed in as many forms as possible. This recipe is quite a common one in most households especially in the summers and is made of raw mangoes. Aam ka panna is also a coolant for the body and having a glass of it after a day in the sun can be very refreshing.</span><br />

Red rice might not look as appetizing as its delicate, polished counterpart, basmati, but it can do wonders. Red rice has a nutty flavor, and a high nutritional value, thanks to the fact that the germ of the rice is left intact.<br />
<br />
Here's a recipe with red rice. It is a double cook method, but quite simple and tasty ! <br />

<u>Nutritional benefits- </u>(courtesy: http://www.livestrong.com)<br />
<br />
<u>Red rice</u> contains proanthocyanidins, which is an antioxidant,may reduce high cholesterol and hyperglycemia in type-1 and type-2 diabetes.<br />
<br />
Consuming red rice may help lower cholesterol levels.<br />
<br />
A one-quarter cup serving of red rice supplements iron intake by
providing 2 percent of the daily recommended intake. The iron in red
rice contributes to the production of myoglobin and hemoglobin.<br />
<br />
Including red rice in your diet helps increase fiber intake. You need 25
to 38 grams of fiber each day, and a serving of red rice provides 2
grams.<br />
<br />
