My Mum in Law made this the other day before leaving to go to New York its a famous traveling food in India, as it lasts a long time. It's so simple to make and tastes great.
You can get it with tomato chutney, plantain slices (per Amma) or fish fry. I plan to make it with fish fry soon, of course with eat fish with lemon all the time in the West it must be great.

  2. squeeze a lemon then slowly add to the rice to taste.

  5. I admit I had to look up several of the ingredients in this dish but it sounds fantastic! Have you ever done a "glossary" of some of the less common ingredients? If so I'd love to see it!

  10. This sounds so delicious, but some of the ingredients are strange-sounding. I guess I will have to find an Asian market for them. I so want to try something Indian.
