A very important point is the vegetarian food, and I think that some of us (into the religion or not) have already said "No More Meat" So why don't we share our fave recipes here? One day I tried this one, and it became one of my favorite meals Coconut RiceServes: 4 Cooking time (approx.): 8 minutes Style: South Indian Vegetarian
4 teacup(s) cooked long grain rice (called Basmati rice in India) 2 teacup(s) grated coconut 1 teasthingy(s) mustard seeds 2 teasthingy(s) each of split black gram and split bengal gram ½ teasthingy(s) asafoetida 4 green chilli(es) chopped 2 red chilli(es) broken into bits 4 tablesthingy(s) butter or ghee (clarified butter) a few curry leaves and salt to taste a handful of fried cashewnuts to garnish. Heat butter / ghee (clarified butter) on medium level in a large heavy-bottomed vessel for about 2 minute(s). Add the mustard seeds and fry till they splutter. Now add the grams, red chilli bits, asafoetida and fry for a few seconds till the grams turn light brown. Add the chopped green chilli(es), curry leaves and the grated coconut. Saute on medium / low heat for about 4 minutes till the coconut is light brown in color. Add the rice and salt to the coconut mixture and mix well. Keep on low heat for 2 minute(s) or till the rice is flavored with the coconut mixture. Garnish with fried cashewnut bits. Suggestion: Great way to use left-over rice.
