Ingredients:
Basmathi Rice-1cup
Beetroot-1
Onion-2 medium
Garlic-4-5pods
Green Chilly-3
Coriander Leaves-1/4cup(chopped)
Olive Oil-2tbs
Ghee-1tbs
Fennel Seeds-1tsp
Water-2 1/2cups
Procedure:
1. Wash and soak basmathi rice for 20minutes. Drain the water and keep it aside.
2. Grind garlic and coriander leaves into a coarse mixture, without adding water.
3. Heat olive oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Splutter fennel seeds.
4. Add finely chopped onions and saute till golden.
5. Add the garlic-coriander mixture and saute till the raw smell is gone.
6. Add grated beetroot and saute for a minute.
7. Add the rice and mix well.
8. Add water and bring it to boil. When 75% of the water is absorbed, add ghee and cover the pan and turn flame to low.
9. Heat a cast iron tawa on another stove.
10. When hot switch flame to low.
11. After 2 minutes on low flame, transfer the pan onto the tawa. Cover the pan with aluminium foil.
12. Let it stay for 10minutes. This step will ensure that the rice is nice and tender without sticking to the bottom.
13. Serve it hot with a raitha of your choice.
