Coconut mustard rice is made by mixing cooked rice with a unique masala paste. This masala paste is made up of freshly grated coconut and mustard seeds as the main ingredients, along with fresh curry leaves, chilies, jaggery, tamarind, and ginger for taste enhancement. Chana dal, urad dal, and peanuts are also added to give it a unique nutty experience in every bite.
Make a paste of 1 tsp of mustard seeds, 2 whole green chilies, 1 piece ginger (1 inch in size), 10 pieces of curry leaves, 4 pieces of whole dry red chilies, a lemon size piece of tamarind, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of jaggery powder, ½ tsp of turmeric powder, and 2 tbsp of grated coconut with water as required.
Fry ½ tsp of mustard seeds, 1 tbsp of chana dal, 1 tbsp of urad dal, ½ cup of peanuts in 1 tbsp of cooking oil and 1 tbsp of ghee (clarified butter). Add and fry 10 pieces of curry leaves.
Then add and mix the masala paste and salt to taste. Then add 3 cups of boiled rice.
Do not put too much water to make the masala paste.I always use freshly grated coconut to make the dish. It gives the authentic taste.Do not cook for a long time after adding the boiled rice. Just mix and serve.
