Varaicha bhat

VARAICHA BHAT / UPVASACHA VARICHA BHAT /BAGAR /SAMO RICE

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Varai. Samai, Samo Rice

2 cup Water

2 or 3 Green Chillies

1 tsp Cumin Seeds

2 tbsp Ghee

Salt to Taste

PREPARATION

Clean,wash,rinse and soak the samo for 20 to 30 mins.

METHOD

In a pan , over medium heat, melt the ghee.

Add cumin seeds.

When the cumin seeds starts to change colour, add the green chilly pieces.

Stir fry for few seconds .

Add the Varai and mix well.

Add 2 cups of water and salt.

*** If you want soft bhaat then add ½ cup extra water .

Mix well.

Cover and cook till the Varai is well-cooked.

• As the varai is soaked ,it takes very less time to cook .

In between do stir it ,so that it doesn’t stick at the bottom .

My bhaat was of soft grainy texture not over cooked .{ 2 cups water was enough as the rice was already soaked for enough time }

Serve with Dhanyachi amti or shengdanyachi amti or even coconut chutney .

This is very similar to southindian Pongal recipe .

NOTES

1. If you want you can dry roast the varai for 1 or 2 mins ,colour should not change.
2. Finally we can also add 2 tbsp of peanut pwdr to the cooked sama.
3. Just like regular rice ,you can cook in pressure cooker .
4. Some add clove /cinnamon /bayleaf to get pulao taste.
