Ingredients

To temper:

  • 2 teaspoon oil
  • ¼ teaspoon mustard seeds
  • few curry leaves
  • 3 garlic finely chopped

To roast and grind

  • 10 garlic
  • 4 red chilies
  • ½ teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 2 teaspoon chana dal
  • 1 teaspoon urad dal

Instructions

  • Heat oil, add chopped garlic fry till golden. Then add urad dal, chana dal and coriander seeds.
  • Roast till it turns golden brown. Cool down and grind it to a coarse mixture. Set aside. Add required salt with cooked rice and spread it to make it fluffy and separate.
  • Heat oil and add the ingredients listed under 'to temper' and fry till garlic turns golden brown. Add the garlic mixture and the tempered items to the rice and mix well until it is coated evenly.
  • Serve hot / warm with vadam or any curry of your choice.

Notes

  • I used kashmiri red chilies so used 4 and it was not that spicy. If you are using regular ones use 3 chilies.
  • 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 chilies to 3. You can adjust salt so that the spice level is adjusted.
  • Even though garlic is roasted you will feel the raw garlic flavor after eating for sure so get ready with your mouth freshener.
  • 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.
