Ingredients
Ghee: 2 spoons (can substitute with oil)
Tempering: Mustard seeds, Cumin seeds, Star anise, Cinnamon, Black peppercorns, Cloves
Optional: Cashews (for crunch)
Aromatics: 2 Sliced onions, Curry leaves, Ginger-garlic paste
Spices: Turmeric powder, Red chili powder, Masala powder (spiced powder)
Base: 1/2 cup Curd (Yogurt), 2 Sliced tomatoes
Main: Rice (washed), Water, Salt to taste
Garnish: Fresh coriander leaves
Preparation Steps
1. Tempering and Sautéing
Heat ghee in a pressure cooker. Add the mustard seeds, cumin, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and peppercorns. Add cashews if desired and fry until golden.
2. Adding Aromatics
Add the sliced onions and curry leaves. Sauté until the onions are soft. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw aroma disappears.
3. Spicing it Up
Add turmeric, chili powder, and your choice of masala powder. Mix well.
Pour in the curd and add the sliced tomatoes. Stir and let it cook for a minute until the base is well combined. Season with salt.
4. Incorporating Rice
Add the washed rice to the cooker and stir gently to coat every grain with the masala. This ensures the flavor is distributed evenly.
5. Pressure Cooking
Add water using the 1:2 ratio (double the amount of water compared to rice). Sprinkle fresh coriander on top. Close the lid and cook for two whistles.
Serving Suggestion
Once the pressure releases, open the cooker to find fluffy, separated grains of rice. Serve hot with a little extra ghee or cool it down and serve with Mosaru Bajji (curd raita).
