Hi All

I made this Potato Rice yesterday and it came out so well. Thought I'll share with all of you.

Potato Rice
==========

You need to parboil potatoes sliced as cubes first.

Need to cook rice as well, be careful not to overcook rice, the grains should remain separate.

Slice oinions (1 big)

To Make as paste

4 Green Chillies
a small bunch of coriander leaves
a small bunch of mint leaves
little onions and 2 or 3 garlic pods

To grind as powder (after roasting the below till they change color)

- 3 red chillies (kaanja milagai)
- 2 tablespoons of coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon of urad dal
- 1 teaspoon bengal gram dhal
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Method

Place the kadai with little oil and add mustard seeds and seeragam first.

Then, add sliced onions, add the potatoes and keep frying for 2 minutes. Thereafter add the paste and saut for 2 minutes...Add salt and a pinch of turmeric to this mixture.

Then add the powdered spices and keep in low flame for 2 minutes.

Now the masala is ready...once it is a little cold mix with rice and add little gingelly oil if it is too dry and mix thoroughly.

Let me know how it turned out, it was a hit when I made it yesterday.
