Parsley Pilau

 

This is a very good male food. (Women enjoy it also.) It is useful when you get headaches or feel a heaviness in your head, or when you feel unnecessarily sleepy. It is very good for the brain and can be eaten as a mono diet. For extra energy, if you must work very hard, eat with yogurt.

1 Cup Basmati Rice
1 Cup Parsley
2 Cups unskinned chopped Potatoes
2 Onions
2 tsp. Oregano Seeds
1 tsp. ground Red Pepper (or add more to taste)
1 Tbsp. Turmeric
1 tsp. Black Pepper
2 crushed Bay Leaves
1/2 Cup Ghee

Sauté onions in ghee. Add spices and cook until browned. Then add rice, potatoes and parsley and stir for a while. Add water (to steam the rice), cover, and cook for another 15 minutes. Serves 4-6.
