Recipe for Aloo Tehri

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 red onion, peeled and chopped into half moons
  • 1/2 tsp garlic puree (using fresh garlic)
  • 1/2 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tomato, chopped roughly
  • 500 g basmati rice (washed and soaked in tap water for 30 minutes prior to cooking)
  • 1-2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 10-12 small baby potatoes, cut into half (slightly par-boiled, before adding to rice)
  • Salt to taste
  • Water
  • To garnish:
  • Chopped coriander
  • Chopped green chilli
  • Chopped dill

Cooking Directions

Heat oil in a saucepan (use one with a tight-fitting lid).

Once hot, add the cumin and allow to pop.

Next add the onions till translucent, add ginger and garlic and cook until the raw aroma disappears.

Add the chopped tomato and fry until soft. Now add drained rice, potatoes and turmeric.

Stir until the rice is covered in the onions and oil and turns quite yellow.

Cover with water, enough to just cover the rice. Place lid on top and reduce flame/heat to low.

Cook on a simmer until rice is cooked though, carefully sit rice with a fork to avoid grains breaking.

If rice is not cooked through, add a couple of splashes of water and cover again.

If over cooked or mushy, remove lid and fan the rice and fluff up rice with a fork.

Serve hot with a raita and the garnish. (especially the chillis as none are added when cooking, so as not to add to the yellow colour of the rice!)
