So for such lazy mornings, I cook up simple rice dishes tasty yet healthy. My older one doesn't like Coriander leaves in her food. So I end up making a paste of coriander leaves to avoid the 'eww' look on her face :)
Note that I didn't add ginger and / or garlic this time as I was dragging myself in the kitchen :) Tried to keep it simple this time. So a coriander flavored rice for Day 4 of BM 13.
Ingredients -
Rice 1 1/2 cups
Valor Beans / Valor Lilva / Chikkudu Ginjalu 1 cup
Cilantro / Kothimeera / Coriander leaves about 1 cup
Green Chillies 1 (or as per taste)
Turmeric 1/2 tsp
Salt as per taste
Onions finely chopped 1/2 cup
Coconut Fresh/Frozen/Dry 3 Tbsp grated/powdered
Seasoning (Oil 1 Tbsp, Cloves 3-4, Cinnamon 1 inch , Cardamom 2 pods, Star Anise 1 pod, Bay leaf 1 , Cumin Seeds
1 tsp, Cashew bits as needed)
Lemon Juice as per taste
Method Of Preparation -
Cook the rice in your preferred method. (I use the rice cooker). Spread out the rice to cool. Leftover rice works fine too.

Cook the rice in your preferred method. (I use the rice cooker). Spread out the rice to cool. Leftover rice works fine too.
I use frozen Valor Lilva and so I nuke them in the microwave for about 4-5 min or until they are tender.
Meanwhile, make a paste of coriander leaves, coconut and green chillies adding as little water as is required.
In a heated wok/kadai, add the oil and the rest of the seasoning and after the cumin seeds are brown, add the chopped onions and saute until golden brown.

Saute the cooked valor beans so they turn a shade brown.
Add turmeric and the coriander paste and reduce the flame.
Add salt and the cooled rice and mix well. Remove from fire.
Mix in some lemon juice as per taste and pack it to school. Note - I remove all the whole spices before I pack it for the older one :)
