Instructions
- In a large bowl, wash and soak rice while you prep veggies. Wash, peel, and thin-slice potatoes. Chop tomatoes into small chunks.
- In a heavy wok or pan, heat ghee. Slowly roast peanuts on a slow flame for 2 min and keep them aside. Then roast potatoes (takes about 5 minutes) and keep them aside.
- In a pan, heat ghee and add cumin seeds and green chilies. Mix in chopped tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes soften. Add salt and black pepper.
- Stir in washed sama rice. Add water and cover the wok with a lid. Let it cook on low heat until the rice is soft and fully cooked.
- Once the rice is done, add roasted peanuts and potatoes and garnish with lemon juice and coriander leaves!
- Serve the Samak Pulao hot with curd and aloo tamatar subji.
Notes
- Rinse barnyard millet thoroughly to remove any bitterness.
- Use a 2:1 water-to-millet ratio for fluffy grains. Make sure to cover it with a lid while cooking the rice.
- Cook on low heat to prevent the rice sticking to the bottom of the wok.
