IMG_0121

This is a very simple, easy and quick lunch recipe. When I was a school going kid, my mom would give this as lunch once a week with papad or chips and I would exchange it with my north Indian friends.  But now, I prefer to make this every week for my husband as it hardly takes any time.

INGREDIENTS
Coconut (scrapped) 1 half of whole coconut
Rice 1 cup
Peanut (roasted) 1/3 cup
Mustard Seeds 1 tsp
Urad Dal 1 tsp
Channa Dal 1 tsp
Cashew 2 tsp
Hing A generous pinch
Green Chilli (Chopped) 2-3
Curry Leaves 1 sprig
Salt To taste
Oil + Ghee 2 tsp

 

METHOD

  • Cook rice in 2 cups of water in pressure cooker for 3 whistles.
  • Heat oil in a pan, crackle mustard seed.  Add hing, urad dal, channal dal, peanut and cashews.  Sauté till they turn golden.
  • Throw in green chillies and carry leaves.  Sauté for a minute and add scrapped coconut stir or 30 seconds and put off the fire.
  • Mix this with cooked rice, serve at room temperature.
