How to make Bagara Khana- Hyderabadi Bagara Chawal- KaliMirch by Smita

June 6, 2022 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Bagara Khana

Bagara Khana also known as Bagara Annam is a popular Hyderabadi, spiced rice preparation that is often served at weddings and other functions.

Last week we had uploaded Mutton Dalcha on our YouTube channel. I was initially going to serve some steamed rice along with it but then decided against it. I then paired Mutton Dalcha with Bagara Khana, and I must tell you the combination is simply delicious. In fact, I could have eaten Bagara Bhaat all on its own without any sides- it is so flavorful and delicious. So, I thought I will quickly make this video and share with all our viewers and readers.

Bagara Khana is not as elaborate as a Biryani and can be prepared in less than 30 mins. It goes well with some delicious curries in veg like- Bagara Baingan, Mirch ka Salan or some non-veg curries like, Mutton Korma, Mutton/Chicken Curry etc.

Bagara Chawal

Bagarna refers to cooking technique- tempering or Tadka, wherein whole spices are added to hot Ghee or Oil which release the essential oil for spices and enhances the flavor of the dish. It is either done at the beginning of the recipe or at the end to finish off the preparation. For Bagara Khana, we temper at the beginning with whole spices to enhance the flavor of rice.

Green Chilies are added to add a subtle element of spiciness to rice preparation. I have found it adds to the dish but if you are someone who cannot stand extra spice, then you can totally skip it.

Onions are added and cooked until it becomes brown- bringing out rich and sweet flavor because of its natural sugar caramelizing as Onions get cooked on low heat. It adds a rich taste to the cooked rice.

Bagara Bhat can be prepared with short or long grain rice. I have used long grain and aromatic Basmati rice which is easily available here. You can make use of short grain rice too in this preparation.

I have added some garam masala to the dish as it imparts an irresistible aroma to the preparation that would make your guests crave for more 😊

You could also add some cashewnuts to make it rich if you like. Fry it along with whole spices and before you add onions.
