Poondu satham

Ingredients:

Cooked rice – 2 cups

Small onion- 1/2 cup

Garlic pods – 1 cup

Ginger- 1/4 inch piece

Roasted and ground black pepper- 1/2 tsp

Raosted and ground cumin seeds- 1 tsp

Method:

An important thing in making any mixed rice variety is that the rice

has to be cooked well but must be separate grains. Normally this can

be achieved by roasting the raw rice in little ghee before cooking or

adding a little sesame oil while it is cooking. Once the rice is

cooked, cool it well in a wide pan/ plate.

Cut the onions, garlic and ginger into fine pieces. Heat oil or ghee

in a wide skillet, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds , dried chillies

(3-4 numbers) and curry leaves. Add the onion, garlic and ginger

pieces and fry them on low heat.Add pepper powder and cumin powder.

Add salt to taste and mix the rice , turning off the heat.
