Tips
• Use aged rice: Aged rice tends to be more fragrant and results in fluffier grains. Look for good-quality aged Basmati or Indrani rice to achieve the best texture and flavor in your Masale Bhat.
• Customize your vegetables: While the recipe suggests a mix of carrots, peas, cauliflower, and potatoes, feel free to add or substitute vegetables based on your preference. Bell peppers, beans, or even green leafy vegetables like spinach can be great additions to enhance the nutritional value and taste.
• Adjust spice levels: The amount of spices mentioned in the recipe is a general guideline. Feel free to adjust the spice levels according to your taste preferences. Increase or decrease the amount of red chili powder or green chilies to suit your desired level of spiciness.
• Prepare homemade Goda Masala: If you can’t find ready-made Goda Masala, you can make your own by dry roasting and grinding a combination of spices like cinnamon, cloves, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, black peppercorns, and dry coconut. This homemade spice blend will add a unique flavor to your Masale Bhat.

There are of course regional variations of Achari dishes.
