Rice with pulses

Imagine you come home after a long day's work and there is absolutely nothing at home and you are so damn hungry you could eat a horse. This is the recipe that should come to your mind. It is super easy to prepare and takes just about 5 minutes of your time in front of the stove. And it tastes heavenly and packs in a lot of nutrition.

Ingredients (for 1 person)

  • rice + green gram - 1 cup
  • tamarind soaked in water for 5-10 minutes
  • chili/sambar powder - 2 tsp
  • for seasoning - jeera, cumin, hing, turmeric
  • for garnishing - coconut grating, coriander
Steps:
  • Cook rice and green gram in a cooker similar to how you cook rice.
  • In a pan, prepare the seasoning and add tamarind paste to it.
  • Add the sambar powder and salt to taste.
  • Once the rice and pulses are cooked, add it to the pan and mix well.
  • Add coconut grating and coriander as a final finish.

I had it with a tall glass of butter milk and ambode. It was yummyy...

Let me know if you try it and how it turned out.

Bon appetite!

  1. Green gram has to be soaked for a few hours?
