Poondu satham / Garlic rice

Wednesday, September 15, 2010
This is a simple recipe but a very helpful postnatal diet. I had made this several times and found this as  the easiest, yet a tasty way to include garlic in my postnatal diet.  I found this recipe  in a supplement of a tamil magazine.





Ingredients:
Cooked rice – 2 cups
Small onion- 1/2 cup
Garlic pods – 1 cup
Ginger- 1/4 inch piece
Roasted and ground black pepper- 1/2  tsp
Raosted and ground cumin seeds- 1 tsp


Method:
An important thing in  making any mixed rice variety is that the rice has to be cooked well but  must be separate grains. Normally this can be achieved by  roasting the raw rice in little ghee before cooking or adding a little sesame oil while it is cooking. Once the rice is cooked, cool it well  in a wide pan/ plate.
Cut the onions, garlic and ginger into fine pieces. Heat oil or ghee in a wide skillet, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds , dried  chillies (3-4 numbers)  and curry leaves. Add the onion, garlic and ginger pieces and  fry them on low heat.Add pepper powder and cumin powder. Add salt to taste and mix the rice , turning off the heat.
