Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • Rice - 3/4 cup
  • Whole Black Urad dal - 1/2 cup (You can use split dal too)
  • Garlic – 6-8 cloves
  • Dry Ginger Powder / Chukku Podi - 1 tsp
  • Coconut - 1/2 cup grated
  • Palm Jaggery – 2 tsp
  • Water – 5 cups
  • Salt to taste

Instruction

  • Wash the rice and dal very well.
  • Take the water in a large pot or a pressure cooker. Bring it to boil.
  • Add the washed rice and dal. Also add the garlic cloves, grated coconut, ginger powder, palm jaggery and required salt.
  • Bring it to a boil again.
  • If you are cooking in an open pot, cover with a lid and simmer for about 40 to 45 mins till the rice and dal is cooked soft. If using a pressure cooker, cook for 3-4 whistles and switch off. Let the pressure go down naturally.
  • Fluff up the rice. It looks mushy at this stage but it will become perfect as it cools.
