MAKE A RED RICE STUFFED PARANTHA
If you have leftover red rice, this is the perfect way to utilize them. Flavor your boiled red rice with seasoning or vegetables of your choice. Remember to not use vegetables like tomatoes as they have moisture and the paratha will not be able to hold its shape. Then, simply stuff the paranthas with the rice like any other stuffed paratha. Just like that, you can add more antioxidants, Vitamin B6, and other nutrients to your normal paratha.

You can easily replace white rice with red rice in your everyday life. You can make Mexican rice, Thai rice, and even biryani with red rice. A lot of desserts like kheer can also be made using red rice. Hence, it is fairly easy to incorporate red rice into your everyday diet.
