This is a simple recipe but a very helpful postnatal diet. I had made this several times and found this as the easiest, yet a tasty way to include garlic in my postnatal diet. I found this recipe in a supplement of a tamil magazine.
Ingredients:
Cooked rice – 2 cups
Small onion- 1/2 cup
Garlic pods – 1 cup
Ginger- 1/4 inch piece
Roasted and ground black pepper- 1/2 tsp
Raosted and ground cumin seeds- 1 tsp
Method:
An important thing in making any mixed rice variety is that the rice has to be cooked well but must be separate grains. Normally this can be achieved by roasting the raw rice in little ghee before cooking or adding a little sesame oil while it is cooking. Once the rice is cooked, cool it well in a wide pan/ plate.
Cut the onions, garlic and ginger into fine pieces. Heat oil or ghee in a wide skillet, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds , dried chillies (3-4 numbers) and curry leaves. Add the onion, garlic and ginger pieces and fry them on low heat. Add pepper powder and cumin powder. Add salt to taste and mix the rice , turning off the heat.

Enjoyed your blog. A couple of suggestions: please use standard recipe language. For example, when you write 1 tomato – 1 no or 1 onion – no what exactly do you mean? Is that the quantity? You could just say 1 tomato.
When you write a recipe, ingredients should be listed in chronological order of their use in the recipe. For example, if the first step is to heat oil, oil should be the first ingredient.
In your garlic rice recipe, there are 3 ingredients in the cooking instruction that don’t appear in the ingredient list: mustard seed, curry patha and red chilies. To be more professional, you should list every ingredient.
Your blog idea is fantastic! And I loved reading all the recipes. Would be nice for us to know the translation of all the Indian words and terminology.
Happy blogging!
