directions

  • Heat a skillet on medium flame.
  • Pour in the water, salt, turmeric powder and stir in the rice very gently.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Lower flame, partially cover, and cook till all the water has been absorbed by the rice.
  • Don't overcook the rice.
  • Keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan on medium flame.
  • Toss in the cumin and mustard seeds.
  • Allow to sizzle and splutter.
  • Once they stop, add the red chillies, curry leaves, bay leaf and peanuts.
  • Stir-fry briefly for 10-15 seconds until the nuts turn lightly brown and the curry leaves are aromatic.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add this to the rice alongwith the tamarind juice and jaggery, if using.
  • Mix gently.
  • Sprinkle a few drops of water on top, then cover the container with a lid and allow to cook on simmer for 8 minutes, stirring once in between.
  • This will help to make all the awesome flavours of the seasoning and the tamarind juice blend well into the cooked rice.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Serve hot.

  1. Awesome! My family loves this recipe, and it's easy to do. I put the cooked rice and seasonings into a covered Pyrex, then stick it into a hot oven to finish off - the oven's usually on to cook the curry anyway!

<p>Hi Everybody! Thanks for stopping by in my little niche of the mighty Zaar world. <br />Here is a quick link to the beauty recipes I've posted (highest rated so far):http://www.recipezaar.com/r/chef=6357/253/451/18/ls=h <br /> <br />A few things I've done:- <br /> <br />1. Worked part time as a Telemarketer in Oman in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. <br /> <br />2. Worked as a Certified Professional Tarotist (Tarot Card Reader) and done accurate predicitions for many people from different parts of the world, most memorable of which is the reading I did for my college Law lecturer and it came true. <br /> <br />3. Written nearly 1000 poems several of which have been published in leading newspapers, ezines and magazines both in Oman and India. <br /> <br />4. Worked as a Moderator on www.allpoetry.com - my BEST and FAVOURITE site on the internet. <br /> <br />My other interests include: Numerology, Vaastu Shastra, Feng Shui, Face Reading, Reiki and Astrology! I am really very keen on getting well-versed with metaphysical sciences such as Astrology, I-Ching, Feng Shui, Runes, Enneagram, Kabbalah and many more. <br /> <br />I love researching on the mythology of ancient Goddesses and then condensing my research into poems. <br /> <br />In the mood to gift me something?
