COCONUT RICE

Coconut rice is a very easy yet delicious and tasty recipe. It takes almost no time to cook. This tasty tangy flavoured dish alongside yogurt and some pickle is just so delicious and will fill the stomach as well

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 4-5 cups cooked rice I used basmati rice
  • 1.5 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 9-10 curry leaves
  • 21-25  raw cashews
  • 1 teaspoon chopped ginger
  • 1-2 green chilli finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 2 teaspoons urad dal soaked for 15-30 mins
  • 3 teaspoons chana dal soaked
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated coconut
  • hing a pinch (optional), also known as asafetida
  • salt to taste

 

First, soak urad dal and channa dal for 15-30 minutes in a bowl and keep it raised.

Then take a wok or a pan anything in which you are comfortable in and start heating it in a medium or low flame. Then as the cooking utensil is heated up add oil of your choice in this case I have added olive oil. Then add few mustard seeds to the hot oil and let it crackle.

Then add ginger, garlic to it. Slice the ginger garlic very finely and further added slit chillies preferably green ones. Keep mixing and continue to cook until the ginger turns brown. If you want to have that extra strong flavour and taste to your dish and make it little rich in flavour and aroma then add a little bit of hing or asafetida to the pan at this point.

Then you will add cashew nuts, urad dal and the chana dal to it one by one and continue to cook it and mix it from time to time. This proce4ss will continue until all these turns golden brown and takes n all the strong flavours from the that had been brewing for the time being.

Now add the curry leaves to your dish and keep some for garnishing as well.

Now add freshly grated coconut in it and cook until the coconut releases the juice from it for almost 2 minutes to be specific.

Finally, add the pre-boiled basmati rice and cook fr 5-7 minutes. At this stage mix, the rice pretty well and keep stirring. Now add the salt and give the final stir.

Now switch off the flame and serve the dish with sprinkled coconut, curry leaves maybe some yoghourt or achar. Enjoy this delicious yet easy meal with your family.
