Brown Rice Huggi

I prepared Huggi and Godda saaru. This receipe is given by my friend Meghana as her mom is visiting here she prepared huggi using brown rice. I tried this receipe it came out excellent. Its healthy as it is prepared with brown rice and Moong daal instead of white rice. Brown rice excellent source of fiber and very chewy. Godda saar is good for indigestion,feels refreshing and goes well with Huggi.
