Karnataka style Vegetable Bath
This is how my mom makes the Authentic Karnataka style Vegetable Bath, which is cooked with spicy coconut paste and combined with mixed vegetables. The addition of vegetables to the bath makes it a complete nutritious meal which can be had as a filling breakfast, lunch or even dinner.. Basmati rice is not a good match for this spicy masala, which has it's own aroma so for this recipe I am using Sonamasuri Rice.

3 cup Sonamasuri rice
6 cups water
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp ghee
2 bay leaves
