Answer 1

INGREDIENTS

For the base of the recipe

• 1 cup rice
• 1/4 cup mung bean/ moong dal/ pasiparippu/ cheupayar ( i have used the one with the skin)
• 6 cups Water
• for the aromatic tempering
• 1 tbsp cooking oil ( mustard oil is preffered)
• 1/4 cup Onion Sliiced thinly
• 3 large cloves garlic finely chopped
• 1-2 green chilli Slit lengthwise
• 1/4 inch turmeric grated
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 2 bayleaves
• 1 medium Tomato chopped small
• salt to taste
• 1/4 cup drinking water
• garnish
• 1 tbsp coriander leaves chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

for the rice mix

• Wash and soak the rice and dal for 15 minutes in about 6 cups of water.
• Cook the rice and dal together till soft and mushy. I prefer to pressure cook them. If using an open opt then add another cup of water.
• Once the pressure is released naturally, open the cooker and stir the contents well.

for the tempering

• in a large pan (Kadai), add the oil followed by the sliced onions, garlic, chillies and turmeric. Saute till the onions are translucent and the oil is coloured yellow.
• Now add the bay leaves, cumin and tomatoes and saute till the tomatoes are soft and cooked.
• Add salt and the water and allow the water to boil.
• Add the cooked rice dal mixture into the tempering and mix well. Simmer till the flavours are incorporated well.
• To serve, garnish with coriander leaves.
• Serve warm and enjoy
