Ayubowan,Welcome. Lets make a delicious Gotukola Gruel
Gotukola is a healthy food.
And also Gotukola can be grown in any country.
If though I live in a cold country, Gotukola grows very well here.
I am using my fresh, organic Gotukola from my garden.
I wash the Gotukola in salt water, and then normal water.
Make sure to have enough but not too many leaves, or a bitter taste will come.
First, I will wash some rice.
Add the mashed ginger and garlic. Then some water.
To make the rice cooked throughout, add a little more water than needed.
Turn on the heat, cover with lid and wait till the water bubbles.
After the water bubbles, stir well from time to time.
Now I take the Gotukola and cut with the stems attached
Then it is easier to blend.
Put some water in the blender and blend.
If you can't blend all of the Gotukola leaves, blend, and add more to make room.
If you are using scraped coconut, you can add them here
I am using coconut milk so I will add later
Then sqeeze the moisture out of the leaves as shown
Add some more water and sqeeze.
This is the Gotukola liquid I squeezed out three times.
Now the rice is ready.
Now I add the Gotukola liquid to the rice.
Add a cup of coconut milk, and then stir.
Now I add 1/4 tsp salt
Don't cook for a long time; we have to keep the green colour
Take off the heat when it looks like this;
Then, it will not only be delicious, but healthy too!
If you drink this in the morning, your day will be more fresh and active. Its good with jaggery.
Make this Gotukola gruel, and eat with your family
In a new page of the online Video Cookbook, we will meet again
