Supriya,who is a non blogger but an avid follower of food blogs has mailed me two yummy recipes that she got from her aunt- Supriya now has her own blog called Queen of my kitchen..check it out for more delicious recipes.

Methi Rice

1 cup rice - I used basmati and cooked it in the pressure cooker. Then cooled it by spreading on a plate.

2 bunches methi - The methi bunches I found in the Indian store today were pretty small, hence I used 2. Wash and chop these.

For tempering - 2 tsp oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, hing, turmeric, udad dal.

1 tblsp. jaggery

1/2 tsp tamarind paste

1 tsp dhana - jira pwd.

2 tsp sambar pwd. (home - made or store - bought)

Salt

Heat the oil. Add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add cumin seeds, then hing, turmeric, udad dal.Fry for a min. Add the chopped methi leaves. Add about 1/2 c. water, jaggery, tamarind paste, dhana - jira pwd., sambar pwd. and salt. Cover and cook for 10 mins. Then add to the rice, mix well. Let this sit for 1/2 hr so the rice absorbs the flavors.

Curd rice -

1 cup rice - I used basmati and cooked it in the pressure cooker. Then cooled it by spreading on a plate.

Heat 2 tsp oil. Add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add cumin seeds, then 2 broken dry red chillies, 4-5 curry leaves, 1/2 tsp ginger paste, 1 tsp udad dal. Fry for a min. Pour this on the rice. Add the yogurt, salt and sugar to taste. I also added some buttermilk to thin it out a bit. Add some fresh shredded coconut. Mix and refigerate until ready to enjoy.
