  • 2-3 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 tablespoon soaked chana dal
  • 1 tablespoon soaked urad dal
  • Salt according to taste

How to Prepare

• Preparation:

  • Once the oil is heated, saute1 teaspoon mustard seeds, finely crushed ginger, chopped green chili, curry leaves and 1 dried red chili.
  • Now add soaked chana dal and urad dal. Make sure you drain the water beforehand.
  • Saute for 2-3 minutes on medium flame.
  • Add 10-12 cashews in the Kadai and saute them until golden in colour.
  • At this point, lower the gas flame and add grated coconut into the Kadai.
  • Saute this mixture for another few minutes.
  • Once the raw smell of coconut goes away, you need to add cooked rice into it.
  • Add salt according to your taste.
  • Now mix the rice gently and make sure the rice does not break while mixing.
  • Put on the lid of the Kadai and cook the rice for 2-3 minutes on low-medium flame. This will ensure that the rice absorbs the coconut flavour quite well.
