BLACK PEPPER RICE

We can make various rice varieties and each one has its taste and aromas.  Since so many days, I was thinking of preparing Black Pepper Rice somehow I could not do that.  Today, as I had to go out for my daughter's orientation programme, I decided to cook rice and quickly made the black pepper rice and went way so that after coming from the college, I can just heat it up and have it.

It was a simple preparation yet very delicious along with onion raita and papad.  Loved it.



Let us look at the recipe now:

Preparation time: 10 minutes
cooking time: 45 minutes
serves: 1 - 2

Ingredients:

1/2 cup rice
2 tbsp ghee
1/2 tsp black pepper
6-7 cashews
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
salt

Method:

wash and cook the rice, the grains should be separate.  you can use normal as well as basmati rice.
break the cashews into small pieces.  heat the kadai and dry roast the black pepper for 2 minutes. crush them coarsely. do not make powder out of it.  Heat ghee in kadai. fry the broken cashews and keep aside.  add the cumin seeds and the crushed pepper. saute for a minute or till the cumin seeds changes its colour.  add the rice, salt, mix well.  add in the fried cashew and serve hot with onion raita.
