Recipe for a Healthy Variety Rice Item
Soak the rice for 20 to 30 minutes.
Heat 5 cups of water in a thick bottom cooking vessel. Once the water comes to a boil add the soaked rice and cook until it becomes soft. Drain the excess water and transfer the cooked rice to a wider bowl and let it cool. (Or) You can cook the rice in a pressure cooker.
Heat the ghee in a small frying pan and add the cashews and fry until they turn golden and keep it aside.
Dry roast the red chillies, urad dal, chana dal, curry leaves, and asafoetida until they become golden brown.(Quantity given above in ‘To prepare the curry leaves powder’) Once cooled, powder the contents using a mixie and keep this aside.
Now, heat the oil in a thick bottom frying pan and add the mustard seeds, urad dal, chana dal, green chilli, onion, and a few curry leaves one after the other in the same order giving enough time for each to get fried well.
Add the ground curry leaves powder and salt and saute for 2 minutes.
Now, add the cooked rice to this and mix well keeping the flame low.
Finally, add the fried cashews along with the remaining ghee and mix well gently.
Side dish: Potato fry is a very good combination and you can also serve with potato chips. Onion raita/ Cucumber raita also will be a great choice.
This is a healthy food for everyone, particularly children who do not prefer to eat curry leaves in any dishes!
