Method

  • Soak the rice for a minimum of 1 hour.

  • Lightly fry the Eggplant in vegetable oil and keep aside. You will add the Eggplant right at the end so don’t overcook them. Fry the peanuts in the same oil and set aside as well.

  • In a large wok, add the oil, cumin seeds, bay leaves & cardamom.

  • Then add the Onions and cook till slightly translucent. Add the leeks and carrots and sauté for a few minutes. Then add the Potatoes & Cauliflower and cook for 10 minutes on a low flame.

  • Add the French beans and rice that has been drained. Mix well and then add the salt, turmeric, coriander powder and red chilli powder. You want the masalas to coat the rice well.

  • Add salt to taste and 3 cups water and let the rice come to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it cook till almost done, add the fried eggplant, desiccated coconut and let it finish cooking until all the water has evaporated.

  • Sprinkle some Lemon juice and fried peanuts and serve hot.
