Something to heat up the tastebuds on a cold rainy day.Increase or decrease the pepper to your taste.This lovely,pungent and sharp tasting spice can best be relished when used fresh ground pepper instead of the preground powder.
You need:
Rice- 1 cup ,cooked,each grain should be seperate
Ghee-2 tablespoons
Jeera-1 teaspoon
Mustard seeds-1 teaspoon
Black peppercorns-1.5 tablespoons
Black sesame seeds-1 tablespoon
Curry leaves-few
Salt to taste
- In a pan ,dry roast peppercorns,sesame seeds and curry leaves till you get a wonderful aroma.Remove from heat ,let it cool a bit and powder coarsely.
- Heat the ghee and add the mustard seeds and jeera,let them splutter and add the curry leaves and wait till it turns crisp.
- Add the cooked rice,salt and the ground powder and mix well to combine.
Remove from heat and serve with a raita/gravy and crispies .This rice is a breeze to prepare,right!
.I served it with a tangy potato gravy for which the recipe will be posted shortly...
