Bhratti

Servings: 4 Servings
Category: Rice
Ingredients

  • 2 c Basmati rice (Carolina will
  • -do)
  • 2 md Onions
  • 1 bn Fresh basil leaves (about
  • -half cup when chopped)
  • 1 tb Curry powder (mild or hot;
  • -according to preference)
  • 1 ts Salt
  • 4 tb Good grade cooking oil
  • 500 g Ground chicken or lean pork

Directions
submitted by: paradise@math.tau.ac.il (yehuda paradise, Ramat Gan, Israel) A reasonably close imitation of BHRATTI: Long long ago I came upon this delicious dish in a remote area of southern India. Owing to language difficulties I could not quite make out the recipe, but after some trials and errors, I finally managed to concoct something close to the original: Chop onions and fry in 2 tbsp oil until just starting to brown. Add meat and curry powder, stir until brown. Scoop out onions and meat, leaving oil in pan. Add dry rice and stir until transparent. Add 4 cups water and salt, bring to boil, cover and cook over LOW flame for 15 mins or until all water is absorbed. Add meat, onions, finely chopped basil and the rest of the oil, stir and cook for another 3 mins. (You could eat it now, but here comes the trick): Put everything in shallow glass dish, cover with paper towel and microwave on full power for another 10 to 15 mins. (YES, that long!) The final ordeal in the microwave oven will turn the individual grains of rice crispy on the outside, leaving their cores soft – a heavenly crunchy sensation.

Cathy’s Fish and Rice

Servings: 1 Servings
Category: Rice
Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb White fish (I used frozen
  • Pollock), cut in
  • 1 sm Onion — chopped
  • 3 Cloves garlic
  • Handful cherry tomatoes
  • -halved
  • Some mushrooms — sliced
  • Flour (for dredging)
  • Oil (for sauteing)
  • 110 ml White wine
  • Curry powder
  • Black pepper
  • Cooked rice

Directions
1. Saute the onions in a small amount of oil till they start to soften. Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes, and then add the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes more, till they lose their raw look. 2. Meanwhile, put a few tablespoons of flour and the pepper into a plastic bag and shake the fish cubes in the bag (don’t forget to close the bag!) Remove the fish from the bag, shaking off any excess flour. 3. When the vegetables are cooked to your liking, remove them from the pan and set them aside. You could drain them on a paper towel to remove a bit of the oil, but it’s not necessary. 4. Add a little more oil to the pan, and heat it for a moment. Drop the fish pieces in the oil, and saute them till them start to turn opaque. Add the vegetables, the cherry tomatoes & the curry powder, and stir to mix them in. Pour in the white wine (or other liquid of your choice) and cook down till most of the liquid has evaporated. Serve over rice. Author’s Notes: This is a recipe I made up the other night, when I didn’t feel like going out to the store. It’s not exactly haute cuisine, but it tasted OK, and used common ingredients. It’squick to prepare, and doesn’t taste very fishy since the dominant flavor is the curry powder. (All measurements are approximate. This made more than enough for 2 people). The thing about this sort of recipe is that you can vary it in countless ways ~- add some bell peppers if you want, or add different spices. Use soy sauce and call it Oriental. Add a few hot chilli peppers for more punch. Difficulty : easy. Precision : measure ingredients.
