Simple Masala rice By Nithi Sri

Ingredients
Palaya saadham ( Old cooked rice) - 1/2 cup
Tamarind pulp - gooseberry size
Turmeric powder -1/2 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Curry leaves - few springs
Urad dhal - 1tsp
mustard seeds - 1tsp
Ginger garlic paste - 1tsp
onion -1/2 small
green chilies - 2
chilly powder -1/2tsp
Salt to taste


Method
1. Take old rice in a bowl and add 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder and tamarind pulp and mix well with ur hand adding some salt. Allow it to soak overnight
2. In the morning take a kadai and heat oil. Add curry leaves, urad dhal and mustard seeds.
3. When mustard splutters, add the onions and saute them well.
4. When the onions are slight pink add the ginger garlic paste, green chillies slitted and saute until the raw smell goes away.
5. Add chilly powder and this point and cook for few minutes.
6. Now add the old rice mixture which is been soaking until the morning and give a nice stir
7. Cook for few minutes until all masalas blend into the rice
8. This serves as a nice breakfast or tea time snack and is a break from the normal tiffin varities like idli and dosa. Also people who are on diet can have this in the morning. As it is quite filling, lunch can be altered with a salad and u can still be active without hunger. Great way to start a day.

Looks yummy!
Rendu loosu kelvigal Tamarind pulp epadi mix panna? Isn't that kind of hard! Suppose to mix with some water or something?
And soak overnight in the fridge or?
Feeling extremely stupid asking these questions, but I am not experienced cook, neither do I cook Indian food

Today I prepared Tamarind rava upma and bombay kadappa. My mom used to prepare the bombay kadappa when I was kid. Today had time to cook this and took picture too

Tamarind rava upma:

1 cup rava.
2 cups tamarind water(extracted from a goosebery sized tamarind ball)
Red chilli - 3
Urad dal - 3/4 spoon
Channa dal - 3/4 spoon
asafoetida/perungayam
Mustard seeds
Turmeric Powder
Chilli powder(if required)
Salt to taste.

Method:

Heat a pan with desired oil. Put mustard seeds, let is splutter. Add urad dal, channa dal, red chilli, asafoetida.
After the dal turned brown, add turmeric powder, little chilli powder, salt. Now pour tamarind water.
Once the water started boiling, slowly put the rawa and stir continuously as we do for normal upma, make sure it doesnt form lumps.
Tamarind rava upma is ready to eat. Serve hot with any type of chutney, I did bombay kadappa.

Thanks,

Sree

Bombay kadappa/Besan chutney:

Onion - 1/2
Tomato - 1
Mustard seeds
Turmeric powder
Chill powder(if required)
Red chillies - 2
Water - 3 cups
Besan flour - 1/4 cup
Oil
Salt

Method:

Heat a pan with oil. Add mustard seeds, let it splutter. Add red chillies, onion, fry till golden brown.
Add tomato give a good mix. Add salt, turmeric powder, chilli powder. Then pour water. Let is boil.
Now in a cup put the besan flour and add little water to form a paste, now add the paste to the boiling content.
Stir nicely so that the water starts thickening. If it is not thickening properly you can add some more besan flour paste.
Once you feel it comes to a chutney consistency, switch off the stove. Garnish with coriander. It is ready to eat.
Have this as a side for dosa, upma.

Have attached the picture of tamarind rava upma and besan chutney. I know the picture is not that tempting, didnt have time to take a better picture, but believe me the taste was lip smacking . Please bare with me .

Thanks,

Sree
