Grind: 3 big garlic pods, 1 inch ginger,5-6 pearl onions,a handful of mint leaves, 4 green chillies, 1 heaped tsp sombu, 2 inch pattai, 2 cardamom to a rough paste. Do not add water for grinding.
Heat 2 tbsp oil. Add 1 clove & a bay leaf & let it become flavourful.
Add & saute 1 onion sliced until it turns brownish.
Add the ground paste, 1/4 tsp chilly pwd & saute for 2-3 mins until it becomes flavourful & slightly brownish.
.Add one chopped tomato & saute till pulpy.Add turmeric pwd now but it's optional.
Add the above mixture to the rice + 2 1/2 cups water(less if using basmathi rice) & salt and let it start boiling.
once half done add the sprouts & cook for 2-3 whistles.
Once the steam is released, add a tbsp of ghee & mix well.
Note: to make sprouts, soak dhal overnight. drain the water & keep the dhal in a hot pack. Towards evening wash & drain the dhal & keep it in the hot pack again overnight. U should have good long sprouts by morning. If not, wash & drain again & leave it till evening in the hot pack.
Suvai nga thanks for your nice post.
Happy Birthday Suvai nga.
May the lord bless you with lots and lots
of happiness, good health and wealth.
Take care. Kugan98
