Cashew nut rice


This rice is a hit among kids as it is not spicy like other variety rice. Besides, they love the fried cashew nuts that dot the rice. 

Ingredients:
Long rice -1cup
Chopped cashew nuts -1/2cup
Chopped onions -1cup
Black pepper corns -1tsp
Cumin seeds -1tsp
Clarified butter -4tblsps
Oil and Salt - as required

Method:
Toast the pepper corns and cumin seeds lightly. Cool and pulverize it. Keep it aside. Wash and soak the rice in one cup of water for 20 minutes. Cook it along with the water in a pressure cooker for 10 minutes. Remove the rice from the cooker after the pressure has released. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes. In the meantime, fry the chopped cashew nuts in little clarified butter to a golden brown colour. Empty it over the rice set aside to cool. In the same pan, fry the chopped onions till it turns translucent. Then, add the cooked rice and powdered spices. Add more clarified butter and stir fry for few seconds till it is blended well.  Serve it alone or along with any chutney of your choice.
