Ingredients:
- 2 cups brown rice flakes
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 8 curry leaves
- 1 medium red onion chopped
- 2 green chillies chopped (as per taste)
- salt to taste
- 1/4 cup grated coconut
- 1/2 tsp chana dal
- Garnish (peanuts, coriander)
Instructions:
- Rinse the brown rice flakes with water, drain water and keep aside. This is enough to soften it. You won’t need any more water to cook it, except maybe a few sprinkles to keep it moist.
- Heat the oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds to it. Once they splutter, add the curry leaves and urad dal to it as well.
- Add the onions and green chillies and sauté till the onions soften and are translucent but not brown.
- Add the drained rice flakes to this and the salt and mix well. Sprinkle a handful of water, switch off the heat, cover and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
- Add the coconut to this, mix well and serve hot with a side some chutney.
- Garnish with some peanuts and green coriander
