Instructions
Preparing rice
  1. In a deep vessel, add water and salt. Let the water come to a boil then add soaked rice. Let the rice cook and once done, strain the water. Let this rice cool down. This is how we usually make rice at home. Nothing fancy or rocket science. Hehe.
Preparing the tadka
  1. In a kadhai, heat oil. Once heated add rai, jeera, Tez patta, dried red chilies, cashew nuts, and peanuts. Sauté till cashews and peanuts become golden brown in color. Once done add haldi, lal mirch, and garam masala. Now mix the imli chutney + water mixture and let it come to a boil.
Final Dish
  1. Add the cooked rice to the tadka. Mix gently so that rice doesn’t get broken. Add salt and coriander leaves.
  2. Serve hot.
Recipe Notes
  • You can adjust the masalas according to your taste and preference.
  • Make it spicy, tangy and sweet according to your taste.
  • You can always make gur/tamarind paste at home or mix it separately in the recipe but I have used the readymade imli chutney and have added water to make it thin.
