This rice is a little sour and tangy, very traditional south Indian food. It is easy to make and one of my favorites. I hope you would enjoy it too. All the best.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups water
2 cups long grain rice, rinsed and drained
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
¼ cup coarsely chopped cashews
7 small dried chile peppers
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon cumin seed
10 fresh curry leaves
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons tamarind paste
1 cup plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Measure the water into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the rice and salt, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a small skillet set over medium heat. Add the cashews and toast until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the chile peppers, mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once the seeds start to pop, add the curry leaves and half of the nuts. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • When the rice is done, transfer it to a serving bowl and stir in the turmeric, lime juice and tamarind paste, then mix in the chilies and spices along with the oil from the skillet. Garnish with the remaining nuts and serve with plain yogurt on the side.
