How to make garlic rice recipe with step by step Cooking Instructions:
Heat the pan or kadai and add 2 tbsp of oil. Wait for the oil to heat up then add the following Ingredients.
2. Add 1/2 tsp mustard seeds and let it pop and crack open. Always wai for the oil to warm up before adding mustard seeds.
3. Now add channa dhal/Split chickpeas and urad dhal/ Split Black gram after mustard seeds cracks. You can add jeera/ cumin seeds instead of channa and urad dal.
4. Now add curry leaves and saute well in the oil. This adds a more south Indian flavor to the dish.
5. To add some spicy kick to the dish add two red chilis and again saute them well. You can skip this part if you want to avoid a little bit of spice. I personally love this flavor, especially when I cook instant food like this as it adds a fresh punch to the food.
6. Add some 1/4 tsp of hing/asafoetida for its digestive properties. Adding this gives a more full flavor and it is also a staple ingredient in Indian cooking.
7. Now the entry of the main ingredient, which is garlic. Slice some 10 to 14 garlic pods horizontally and add it to the mixture. Saute the garlic really well till it becomes golden brown. [Note: you can fry the garlic to a crispier point if you like it like crunchy]
8. Now, add a bowl[sufficient for 2 people] of freshly cooked rice/ leftover rice to the mixture and mix well.
Finally, add salt(as required) and freshly crushed black pepper to the mixture and saute well.
Now, switch off the flame and close the pan for about a minute or two. This helps the rice to absorb the flavors and essence to the plain rice.
After a minute open the lid and fluff the rice from the corners. fluffy and flavored garlic rice is ready to serve.
Garlic rice is ready to serve! Serve it with raita, papad potato fry, and any pickle of your choice.
