LUNCH BOX RECIPE -small onion RICE

With cooked rice, flavorful rice can be prepared within 10 minutes.  Healthy rice with  Authentic south Indian flavors. It is also a good home remedy for cold, cough

SHOULD I USE MORTAR & PESTLE?

It is optional but it gives the best taste and texture to the rice. Alternatively, you can fine-chop small onion and garlic. 

can I use regular onion?

yes but rice tastes best with small onion. The flavor might vary with regular onion. If you are using regular onions, fine chop them. 

CAN I USE LEFTOVER RICE FOR PEPPER onion RICE?

yes, it is one perfect way to finish leftover rice/ cold rice. If you are using leftover rice make sure you keep the rice at room temperature for some time. Warm the rice, spread the rice on a plate then use it.

WHAT KIND OF RICE SHOULD I USE?

I generally use Sona masoori rice. You can also use basmati rice/ raw rice / brown rice/hand point rice/millet. Cook the rice well but not mushy. Avoid al dente cooking for better digestion.

FLUFFY RICE

If you are making Kalandha sadham with freshly cooked rice make sure you spread the rice on a plate till the steam goes off. I generally add a few drops of sesame oil while cooking rice as it helps fluffy rice. You can also add sesame oil while cooling the rice too.

Can I skip sundal podi?

sundal podi is optional but gives a good flavor to the rice.

WHAT TASTES BEST WITH vengayam saadam?

Rice tastes best with raita, roasted appalam, varuval variety,curd based kuzhambu, kootu variety , curd based recipes, pickle varieties, vadam varieties, savory bakshanam, masala vada or pakoda

CAN I SKIP THE GHEE

Ghee is optional but gives amazing flavor so I would highly recommend
