Preparation
Step 1
Prepare steamed rice and keep it aside (Fluffy rice)
Step 2
dry roast urad dal+ red chillies, sesame seperatly and let it cool down
Step 3
Powder the roasted ingrdients. First grind urad dal and red chillies, when they are 75% done then add the sesame seeds and powder it coarsely.
Step 4
In a pan, heat 2 tea spoons of oil and add the peanuts and roast for 2 to three minutes
Step 5
Then add the items listed to temper one by one
Step 6
If you tempered using a small tadka pad, transfer the tempered mix to another mixing bowl, add rice, salt, and powdered mix and mix gently by adding a spoon of oil.
1. If you use sesame oil, that gives some extra flavor.
2. I prefer adding the rice and mix little by little and mix
3. I have used 3 chilies for mild hot rice, if you like spicy one, add two or three more chilies to it.
4.adding peanuts and cashew nuts are optional. but recommended.
5. you can add channa dal also along with peanuts, while tempering
