Amla/Gooseberry(Nellikai) has lot of health benefits…its really good to include it in your daily diet with its richest form of Vitamin C. This is the first time I am trying Amla Rice….I made it simple just like lemon rice….it turned out so good that everyone instantly liked the taste. I have already made Amla juice, other than that just eat it raw…instant goodness I should say! Dont miss to drink water after you have this rice :))
Amla Rice Recipe – IngredientsServes : 2Cooking & Preparation Time: 35 mins
Amla – 1/4 cup heaped grated
Cooked Rice – 1 and 1/4 cups
Urad Dal – 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves – a small sprigTo temper:
Oil – 1 tbsp + 1 tsp
Mustard Seeds – 3/4 tsp
Chana Dal – 2 tsp
Curry leaves – 1 sprig
Red Chillies – 2
Peanuts – 2 tbsp
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
Hing – a small pinch
Method:
1.Wash amla, grate it using a grater,Discard the seeds…Set aside.Heat oil in a pan – add the items under ‘to temper’ table, let mustard seeds splutter.
2.Fry till dals turn golden brown then add grated amla and saute for 2-3mins.
3.Cook rice in 1(rice):2.5(water) ratio and spread it with a tsp of oil. Add cooked rice to the amla seasoning and mix gently.
Serve hot with papad or any curry of your choice.
I loved the flavour of the rice with the goodness of amla, do try it for yourself and enjoy it! Amla has the richest source of Vitamin C so try to include it your daily diet.
My Notes :
- You can use leftover rice too to make variety rice.If you are using hot rice,make it well in advance fluff and spread it with oil and keep aside.
- I used normal rice, if you want you can use basmati rice too.
- While tempering you can add either red chillies / green chillies.
- Amla cooks easily so dont saute for more time.
- If you wish you can even add onion for extra crunch.
