Garlic Rice Recipe

Few weeks back, I was badly craving for some spicy variety rice  and this garlic rice was apt for my craving. It is super spicy with the flavour of chilli and garlic, along with the crunch in the fried garlic pieces is the highlight of this recipe. I had few readers asking for leftover rice recipes and here I start with this one….more coming up soon 🙂
This is quick and easy to make for lunch or even for packing lunchboxes, this is a must try for all garlic lovers 🙂 I had another recipe of garlic rice with mor milagai , but when I saw this I was way too tempted to make it so here goes recipe without any further delays.So sure to post that one in future.

Poondu Sadam

Garlic Rice Recipe

My Notes:

  • I used kashmiri red chillies so used 4 and it was not that spicy.If you are using regular ones use 3 chillies.
  • Roasting garlic till golden brown is a must else you will get raw garlic smell.
  • This rice is little on the spicy side so if you wish you can reduce chillies to 3. You can adjust salt so that the spice level is adjusted.
  • Even though garlic is roasted you will feel the raw garlic flavour after eating for sure so get ready with your mouth freshner 🙂
  • As there is no coconut, you can make this powder in prior and store it for 2-3 days and use it whenever you want to make this rice.
  • You can make this with leftover rice which will be perfect.
