Ingredients
Cooked Rice – 1 bowl
Grated Carrot – 1 cup
Red chillies – 2 to 3
Green chillies – 2
Fresh ginger – a small piece
Bengal gram dhal – 1 tablespoon
Urad Dhal – 1 tablespoon
Ground Nut – 1 tablespoon
Cashew nuts – few
Asafoetida – ¼ teaspoon
Oil – 4 or 5 teaspoons
Mustard – 1/2 teaspoon
Curry leaves – few
Coriander leaves – few
Salt – 1 teaspoon or as per taste
Directions
- Start by finely chopping the ginger. Slit the green chillies lengthwise and break the red chillies into two or three pieces each.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and wait for them to crackle. Then, add Bengal gram dal, urad dal, groundnuts, and cashew nuts, frying them until the dals turn a light golden brown.
- Quickly add the ginger, green chillies, red chillies, and curry leaves to the pan, frying everything for just a moment to release their flavors.
- Now, introduce the grated carrot to the pan, frying briefly to soften slightly.
- Sprinkle in the asafoetida powder, turmeric powder, and salt, mixing well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the vegetables.
- Cover the pan with a lid and let the mixture cook on a low flame for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Finally, add the cooked rice to the pan, gently mixing it with the spiced vegetable mixture to combine everything thoroughly.
- Finish by stirring in the chopped coriander leaves for a fresh burst of flavor. Mix well, then remove from heat.
