Coconuts are not aliens in our south indian kitchens but surprisingly I've never made this rice ever before.I love it and so did my LM who usually picks out titbits from her plate.i must declare it an instant hit.
I have been trying to make this rice for a while since my friend has been mentioning it for a while.I was a little worried about how it would last in the lunch box.But I realised the trick!One aromatic flavoursome rice and lunch made easy in this sweaty summer!I have added a lot of baby onions to this recipe which made it extra fragrant and tasty too.I just heard on tv yesterday evening that baby onions/sambar onions are great coolants during the summer.
You need
Cooked rice 2 cups
For the seasoning:
Coconut oil 3 tablespoons
Mustard seeds 1tsp
Channa dal/kadala paruppu 1 tsp
Urad dal/uzhundhu 1 tsp
Curry leaves 2 sprigs
Peanuts 1 tablespoon
Cashew nuts few
Green chillies 1 or 2
Cumin seeds 1 tsp
Aniseeds/saunf 1 tsp
Red chillies 3
Baby onions 1/2 cup chopped finely
Grated coconut 1 cup
Ginger garlic paste 1 and half tsp
Salt to taste
