Rice is what I tend to reach out for when I don't have the time or patience to make chapatis. And then there is th leftover problem for the next meal.
Nobody wants to eat leftover plain rice.
Here are some ideas to spruce up your leftover plain rice.
1. Coriander (Dhaniya) Rice :
1 bunch of coriander(about 50 gram) for 2 cups of uncooked rice - Just get rid of the roots and keep the leaves and stems.
1 teaspoon of cumin
4 garlic cloves - chopped or minced
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1 bay leaf
4 green cardamoms or 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
1 tablespoon butter or ghee
1 teaspoon salt
Puree the fresh coriander in a food processor with 2 tablespoons of water. It can be chopped finely too.
Heat butter or ghee. Add cloves, cinnamon, cardamoms and bay leaf. When they start to sizzle, add garlic. Add cooked rice. Stir fry. Add some water if the rice looks dry.
If adding uncooked rice, stir fry for a minute and add 4 cups of water. Bring it to a boil.
Turn the heat down to medium and let it cook for 10-12 minutes until all of the water is absorbed. The rice is ready, delicious with any curry or simply yogurt.
