Preparation and Cooking time: 45 Minutes: Serves 4
Ingredients:
3 cups Thick Pawa (Flaked Rice)
2 Medium Sized Potatoes
2 Onion Finely Chopped
¼ cup Oil
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
¼ tsp Asafoetida (Hing)
2 tbsp Ginger Paste
1 tbsp Green Chilli Paste
½ tsp Turmeric Powder
1½ tsp Sugar
1 Juice of Lime
3 tbsp Coriander Finely Chopped
Salt to taste
Method:
Chop the potatoes into small cubes, wash them and set aside.
Heat oil in a big pan. Once hot, add the cumin seeds, asafoetida, and onions, and sauté the onions until soft.
While this is cooking, wash the pawa in water to remove the dirt. Fill with lukewarm water, add one teaspoon of salt and one tablespoon of sugar, and let it soak for 5-7 minutes.
Now that the onions are soft add the potatoes, ginger, green chilli paste, turmeric powder, sugar, and salt, mix well, and cook on low heat with the lid on until the potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally.
Strain the pawa in a sieve for 2 minutes to drain the water. Add them to the potatoes with the lime juice and chopped coriander, mix well, and then simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes with the lid on.
Enjoy hot on its own or with yoghurt!
