Ingredients
- ¼ cup Neer sundaikaai/turkey berries in brine Recipe here
- 1 cup cooked rice, we use sona masuri rice leftover can also be used
- ¼ teaspoon cumin seeds/jeera
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 tablespoon ghee/oil according to your dietary preference
Instructions
- Spread the rice on a plate and fluff it with a fork. If using leftover rice, then i would suggest steam it a little in the Microwave or on the stove-top.
- If you are planning to cook rice fresh, then rinse 1 cup of rice 3 or 4 times with water. Add 2 cups of fresh water, cook the rice on stove-top, once the rice is 90% done, strain the extra water completely and keep it covered for 10 minutes. If making in pressure cooker, cook for 3 whistles.
- Take 2-3 tablespoon of berries from the brine. Heat 2 teaspoon of gingely oil in a tadka pan, add ¼ teaspoon of cumin seeds. Let it crackle.
- Now reduce the flame, add the berries, it will sizzle well. Let it fry for 3-4 minutes, until it gets nicely browned and crispy.
- Remove the berries from the stove. Add this to steaming hot rice, add little salt mix well and enjoy.
- The berries can be made even more crisper if you saute it, for few more minutes in the hot oil, but i prefer a mix of crispy and soggy berries.
Notes
- This rice mix is said to be good for digestive issues. Whenever you feel little bloated or a minor gas trouble, this berry saute on steaming hot rice gives a good relief.
