Ingredients: 1 heaped cup uncooked rice, 1 onion, 5-6 garlic cloves, 2 medium tomato, 4-5 black pepper balls, 1 stick of cinnamon (about 1.5cm), 2-3 red dry chilli, 2 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp mustard seeds, 1 cube (1 cm) ginger, 1 tbsp oil, 2 bay leaves, salt to taste, 2 tsp garam masala, 2 tsp red chilli powder

Preparation Time: 15 min (if rice already cooked)

 

Recipe:

1. Wash the rice and soak it for an hour. Soaking it cooks the rice faster. Cook the rice per traditional method. Ensure that they are not overcooked or stick to one another.

2. Heat a pan on low gas. Cut the onion in 4-5 big pieces. Add them to the pan. Add the garlic, red dry chillies and ginger to the pan as well. Parch for two minutes with continuous stirring. Shift them to a mixer pot. Cut the tomatoes in big pieces and add them to the pot. Make a puree. If very thick, then add half cup water to it.

3. Take a deep pan and heat it. Add oil to this for seasoning. Now add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, bay leaves, black pepper and cinnamon to this.

4. Add the puree to this and stir well. Add half cup water to this while the gas is on medium flame.

5. Add red chilli powder, garam masala and salt to taste. Mix well. Allow cooking for 3-4 min.

6. Now add rice to this and mix it well with the puree. Cover with lid and turn the gas low. Allow cooking for 5-7 minutes.

7. Serve it with Seasoned Buttermilk to make perfect summer meal!
