Telugu curd rice tempered with ginger, the cooling end to any feast. One pot, big aroma — a full meal folded into fragrant rice. A bowl of plain yogurt and pickled onions is all it wants.

Ginger2-inch piece
Green Chili2, slit

Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
Whole Garam Masala Spices2 tsp
Rice2 cups

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

1
Soak the rice for 20 minutes, then drain thoroughly — wet rice turns mushy.
2
Warm the ghee and drop in the whole spices; the moment they sizzle and perfume the kitchen, add the onions.
3
Cook the onions down till sweet and bronze, add the paste and spices, and fry till the oil gleams at the edges.
4
Add the yogurt and saute two minutes, then slide in the drained rice and turn gently to coat every grain in the masala.
5
Add salt and hot water, boil, then cover with a tight lid and a tawa underneath to stop scorching; steam till done and rest before serving.

Chef's tip

Never stir the pot once the lid goes on; that is how rice turns to paste.
