Check out my version of Burnt Garlic Rice in a fusion style. I added some prawns and gave a South Indian flavour to this popular dish. It did turn out very yummy. This dish is generally served with a Manchurian side dish. However, I enjoyed with some homemade Mirchi Ka Salan, a Hyderabadi delicacy. This is an ideal one-pot meal with or without any side dish. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 250 gms. prawns, deveined & cleaned
- 3 tbsp. oil
- 1 whole garlic pod, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup spring onion (white part), chopped
- 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp. red chili flakes
- 1/4 tsp. pepper powder
- 1 tsp. sambar powder
- salt to taste
- 3-4 tbsp. spring onion (green part), chopped
Tempering -
- 1-2 whole dry red chilies
- 1-2 green chilies
- 1/2 tsp. mustard seeds
- 1/4 tsp. cumin seeds
- 1 sprig curry leaves
- 1 tsp. urad dal
Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a pan and sauté the prawns till it is well cooked. Drain and keep aside.
Heat remaining oil and fry the chopped garlic till golden brown. Drain and keep aside.
Temper the same oil with all the mentioned ingredients. Sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add 3/4 of the fried garlic and the white part of the spring onion. Sauté for 2 minutes more.
Now add turmeric powder and red chili flakes, followed by the cooked rice, salt to taste, fried prawns and pepper powder. Give it a toss and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
When done, add sambar powder and chopped spring onion (green part) and mix well. Garnish with the remaining fried garlic and enjoy with any side dish.
