You can serve this tehri dish with boondi raita and chili or mango pickle. This dish is very comfortable dish which you can serve as main course in your lunch or dinner menus. It is very popular and delicious rice recipe from the region of Uttar Pardesh.
What is Tahri?
Tehri became more popular during the Second World War when the meat prices increased substantially and potato became the popular substitute in biryani. It is prepared by adding the potatoes to the rice as opposed to the case of traditional Biryani, where the rice is added to the meat. In Kashmir and Uttar Pradesh, Tehri is sold as street food.
Just like a super taste of Biryani, Tehri is also popular recipe in India, which is both rich in taste as well as presentation. When we talked about vegetable biryani or tehri, makers are used potatoes, cauliflower or green peas in tehri but this time I used corn kernels to make Corn Tehri.
Serving options are Papad, Mango or Chili Pickle, Indian Curries, Indian Raita Recipes.
Some other alternate Rice recipes are: Curd Rice, Mango Rice, Lemon Rice, Pineapple Rice, Chana Dal Khichdi, Corn Tahri, Masala Rice and Sweet Rice recipes.
