COCONUT RICE

>> Tuesday, September 30, 2008

Made especially during the time of Navarathri festival which is happening at the moment. Differnt variety of rice made for 9 days in a row which is worshipped & made as prasadams. 9 days are devoted with differnt flavoured rice , payasam (Kheer) & Sundal (lentils). Happy Navarathri to all my Friends & Family.

Boiled rice- 100gms
Oil- 2 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1tsp
Urad dhal- 1 tsp
Peas- 25 gms( optional)
G.chillies- 2ea
Red chillies- 2 ea
Cashewnuts- 20 ea (crushed)
Curry leaves- 2 sprig
Salt - to taste

Method

Heat oil in pan. Can use coconut oil to add in extra flavour.

Make tempering using mustard seeds, urad dhal,curry leaves & chillies.

Add in the cashewnut & fry till golden brown.

Add in the peas(optional) & sweat for while.

Add in the coconut(grated) and cook till flavour comes out.

Add in the boiled rice & mix well so that the coconut flavour endures wholly.

Serve hot.
