Kadugu Sadam | Mustard Rice Recipe | Gluten Free and Vegan Recipe

Hi Supermoms,

How many of you like variety rice dishes? 

I just love them as they are easy to make with very less preparation time and are so handy especially on days you are out of vegetables at home. 

Also, I serve  a small portion of a variety rice as a part of our Traditional Lunch Thali . Yesterday, I served this Mustard rice/ kadugu Sadam as a part of our lunch. And it was so yummy. On popular demand, I am sharing this recipe.

It is a great lunch box/tiffin box dish too. You can even pack it for your travel. Drizzle a teaspoon or two of sesame oil if you are packing them.
