12 tsp Oil (for sauteing)

Ready to Cook 

1. Clean and soak the rice for 10 minutes. If the kind of toor dhal to be used takes long to get cooked, half-cook it.

2. Grind the things in table-2 to a coarse paste(crushing well is enough), without water.

Sauting the ground paste

4. Add the ground paste; saute it till the raw smell goes.

5. Add the soaked rice and dhal. Add water in the usual ratio for rice. For dhal, the water ratio is always 1:2 + 1/4 cup, howmuchever the quantity of dhal is used.  Now, check salt and add some more according to the taste. Pressure cook it until the usual length of whistles.

 Ready to Serve

Notes

I used Sona masoori rice. This rice can be cooked with moong, val and red chori(thattai payaru) dhals, too. If it is red chori dhal make sure you cook it as such you can eat it with a hard bite. And the rice dhal ratio will be, 2cups: 3/4th cup. A very filling and tasty recipe. My native people cook it very often. And I wanted to give credit to them by giving the same title they use, instead of "rice dhal pulao"  (which I considered). Usually taken with some kind of thuvaiyal. Chips and raitha can be good sides, too.

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it to you when you have forgotten the words.

When you speak everyone hears, friend listens to what you say, best friend listens to what you don't say.

A simple friend thinks the friendship over when you have an argument. A real friend knows that it is not a friendship until after you have had a fight.

Friendship is the golden thread that ties all the hearts together.

If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't follow...

                              I'd be at the bottom to catch them...

Strangers are just friends waiting to happen...

When I registered I just told in one line that I like friendship. I didn't even know about the guestbook then. Now, that I got so many friends, I wanted to write more about friendship; picked some quotes which I like very much.

                                          and friends waiting to happen...

    hi sugan,

    this recipe is one of my favourite. my friend’s mom cooks it for me when we were in cbe. actually i wanted to cook it myself. u have helped me to do that. but i have a doubt in the ratio of water. if i gonna put 2 cups of rice and 1 cup of dhal . how much is the water quantity. i usually keep 1.5 cup of water for 1 cup of rice. is five cups sufficient for the dish.

    thanks

    mohana

    Hi,
    The recipe looks attractive. But I didn’t actually understand the part of 1:2 ratio + 1/4 cup……What is that 1:2 ratio and what is 1/4 cup ingredients? Are u talking about rice+dal or separately. What is that extra 1/4 cup? Please brief it. thanks for the posting

      Jas, Thanks for your compliment… That part starts like this, " for dhal,…". By which I meant, howmuchever the quantity of dhal you use, you have to add, double the quantity of water+1/4 cup extra. That is a formula. All you have to do is just follow it for whatever be the quantity of dhal. For example, if you use 1 cup of dhal in the recipe add 2 and 1/4 cups of water; if it is 2 cups of dhal, then 4 and 1/4… Apart from this, add water to rice in the ratio you usually do. I have updated the recipe, now. Please have a look at it and let me know whether your doubt is cleared or not. Thanks for raising the doubt…

      Of course, you can, Shan. The reason for using small onions are nothing but those are tastier than the big ones… It'll be my pleasure to know the results…

      Thanks for your comments, Kavi. Namma ooru special gnyabagam vandhudhu. It’s very tasty. After you do it 2 or 3 times you will find out your own proportions which will be much tastier for you. Some people add fennel seeds, too. I practiced this proportion.
