Garlic rice

Garlic is an excellent herb for creating and maintaining overall health. It is a powerful natural antibiotic. This natural antibiotic is effective against toxic bacteria, viruses, and fungus. Garlic is claimed to help prevent heart disease (including atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure) and cancer. So I always try to add garlic wherever possible in my cooking. Here comes the recipe for garlic rice.

Garlic rice

Ingredients:

      • 1 cup – Boiled rice / Raw rice
      • 6 nos – Garlic (medium sized)
      • 1 tbsp – Split black gram / Ulunthu
      • 1 tbsp – Bengal gram / Kadalai paruppu
      • 2 nos – Dry red chillies
      • 3 tbsp – Coconut grated
      • Salt as needed

Seasonings:

      • 1 tbsp – Oil
      • 1/4 tsp – Mustard seeds
      • 4 nos - Curry leaves

Garlic rice process

Preparation method:

  2. Heat little oil in a pan, add bengal gram, split black gram, garlic, red chillies finally coconut , saute until coconut is slightly golden brown in color. Allow them to cool and grind them to a coarse powder.

Finally add cooked rice and mix everything well together. Check for salt and if required, add additional salt at this stage. Spicy garlic rice is ready to serve.

    I don't eat garlic because of the nutrients. I eat them because I just enjoy the taste, especially when combined into such a delish rice dish.
