Today
again I post one more very interesting rice recipe i.e. “IMLI CHAWAL” from the “Cooking
with Love” cook book written by Chef Sanjeev Kapoor.

Under this
rice recipe, we have to cook rice and fold with tempering of tamarind pulp, mustard,
red chili and curry leaves and garnish with roasted peanuts and sesame seeds. Tamarind
enhances the flavour of rice in this method, my family really like this recipe.

You can
store the tamarind pulp in freeze for few days and use when required. Imli rice
will keep for 3-4 days and it’s a good option for picnic time or while
travelling. For instant version, you can
add this tamarind pulp into leftover rice and enjoy this Imli Chawal anytime.
