From My Rasoi #6: For the Love of Rice (Part I)

July 2, 2006 | Filed Under Food Blogging Events, From My Rasoi, Rice

Caution: Make sure you eat before reading the following FMR posts. The host is not responsible for the rumbling that may start from the pit of your belly when you see the delicious dishes below.

Thanks, everyone, for participating in the sixth From My Rasoi monthly food celebration event. The brainchild of Meena from Hooked on Heat, ‘rasoi’ means ‘kitchen’ in Hindi, the language spoken in most of India.

I chose RICE for June’s food theme. It’s global and versatile. Almost everyone eats rice — vegans, vegetarians, meat eaters, and even those who are gluten intolerant. One can also use rice flour as well as the grains.

Part of Meena’s rules for the event dictate that one can submit recipes that are Indian or non Indian in flavor. Our fellow food bloggers have presented an interesting array of ‘rice’ dishes.

Here is the lineup:

Risotto Tricolore from Cream Puffs in Venice
In support of Italy in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Ivonne waves
the “proverbial Italian flag in the form of the rice dish” Risotto Tricolore.

Inarizushi from Kafka na Praia
Karen prepares rice mixed with vegetables, Japanese style.
