This is no fruit salad :D , this is simple curd rice with loads of fresh fruits made with softly cooked unpolished rice. Following is the recipe
Rice : 1 - 11/2 cup ( 1 cup with be OK for a family of 2 +1)
Water - 5 cups ( for 1 1/2 cup rice)
Butter milk - 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups ( I use butter milk for curd rice - home made ofcourse)
Fresh fruits of your choice- preferably pomegranate, apples, grapes
Vegetables like cucumber
For seasoning- mustard, jeera, asafoetida, sesame seeds, curry leaves and curd chillies.
Method.
Cook the rice with excess water in a pressure cooker and let it cool for a while
Once cooled pour in the buttermilk, and throw in other fruits and vegetables of your choice ( choice is unlimited here ) and mix well
Heat a kadai or a pan , add in some oil , splutter mustard seeds, jeera, asafoetida powder, sesame seeds, curry leaves and curd chillies ( else you can use fresh green chillies too)
Season the curd rice with the above seasoning and mix well. Garnish with cashews and raisins.
Serve with pickle of your choice.
Enjoy!
Perfect for indian summer..Looks delicious..
