Ingredients:
1 Cup Black Rice (Soaked Overnight)
½ cup peanuts (roasted)
¼ Tbsp. Carom Seeds
1/8 Tbsp. Asafoetida
¼ Tbsp. Ginger (Chopped)
¼ Tbsp. Green Chili (Chopped)
1 Tbsp. Clarified Butter
¼ Tbsp. Mint and Coriander chopped
½ Tbsp. lemon juice
Method:
I use Manipuri black rice, which is full in flavor, but hard to cook.
You need to pressure cook overnight soaked black rice for 8-10 whistle.
The cooked rice will be full of starch. This khichri is different as no lentil has been used to make this khichri. Transfer your cooked rice to a bowl. In the meantime , heat clarified butter in a pan , on low to medium heat. Add carom seeds, on splutter , add asafoetida , ginger and chili, add roasted peanuts . Saute for a minute then add cooked black rice (with all its starch). Add salt to taste . Stir continuously on low heat. Add chopped mint/coriander and garnish with roasted Peanuts.
