I think each one has their own version of coconut rice but this thengai podi satham is little different from our usual coconut rice. This recipe was purely on a hear say from a friend and it turned out gud so thought to jot it down before I forget. I am not a fan of variety rice but still this comes to our rescue when there is less time.Ammas version of coconut rice is already posted.
Thengai Podi Sadham / Coconut Powder Rice Recipe
Ingredients :
- Cooked rice – 1 cup
- Grated coconut – 1/4 cup
- Hing – a generous pinch
- Salt – to taste
To temper :
- Oil – 1 tbsp
- Jeera – 1 tsp
- Curry leaves – few
For grinding to a coarse powder :
- Chana dal (Kadala parupu) – 1 tbsp
- Urad dal (Ulutham parupu) – 1/2 tbsp
- Dry red chillies – 1
- Coconut – 1 tbsp
Method:
- Dry roast the ingredients under “to grind” until the dhals and coconut turn lightly browned. Grind it to a coarse powder.
- Heat oil in a kadai, add jeera let it splutter then add curry leaves and red chilly. Let it fry for a minute or 2 then add coconut and fry till its lightly browned.
- Add the grinded powder to this and mix well.Now add cooked rice and mix well.
- Allow it to rest for 15mins then Serve with raita or chips!
My Notes:
- You can even have the roasted powder prepared well in advance.
- We like it with papad or any mild veg curry.
