- Open the cooker after the steam is released. Fluff the rice gently and serve hot with raita.
Notes
- Adjust the quantity of chillies as per your taste.
- For variations, you can grind all the ingredients raw without sauting. But the taste and flavor would be completely different.
- Water quantity varies based on the rice we use. For basmati rice, soak it for 15 minutes and use 1: 1.5 cups of rice and water. For jeera rice / Seeraga samba rice, 1:2 ratio without soaking.
- For most of the Karnataka rice varieties, Sona masoori rice is used. So I have used the same in this recipe.
- You can also use knol khol / Kholrabi along with other vegetables. Some hotels use this veggie too.
