Grandma's Peech or Peench

It's called Peach or Peech in the local Hyderabadi dialect. In other words, this is a simple one with nothing but only that of cooked Rice water and little Salt. Look at the thick water that's collected while draining the cooked Rice. This one is Starch and is still a poor man's food. This is extremely beneficial for people suffering from dehydration and fever. It's an easy one that calms and soothes the irritating Stomach lining. It not only gives strength to an ailing person but also provides better immunity to fight against the antibodies. This contains Starch which is an important source of energy. Starchy food provides B Vitamins, Iron, Calcium and Folate. It's a myth that it makes us fat. All in all, a very easy energetic food that keeps you full while you recover. Happy Cooking with Zee!

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wash and soak Rice as required. Cook with enough drinking water on medium-high heat. Add a bit more of water than you usually do because we are eventually collecting the same thickened Starchy water. Add Salt as desired. Or you can skip here and add it later to the Starchy water collected.

* Step 2

Keep stirring it as and when required. After it is cooked, drain the remaining thick Starchy water or Peech as it's called here.

* Step 3

Stir in some Salt, Ghee, and chopped Coriander Leaves. serve it right away. You will love to sip it. This is my maternal home's way of making it. My Grandmom makes it this way. But it's all your choice and preference. Plain Salted Starchy water or serving it in this way, it's still the same and absolutely beneficial to our body's immunity. Enjoy!
