Ellu podi sadam(Sesame seeds rice)

With adi perukku on August 3rd this year I will try post more variety rice. Instead of the usual lemon rice and coconut rice, we can try to make something different.
Ingredients
Cooked raw rice or boiled rice
Sesame seeds- ellu- 1/4 cup(I have used white seeds, if you want you can use black also)
Channa dhal- kadalai paruppu- 1/2 cup
Red chillies- 6-7
Salt to taste ( I have added a tablespoon of salt for the above measure as we are going to mix it with rice. Always add less salt as it may be added after mixing with the rice)



For seasoning
Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
Mustard- 1 teaspoon
Urad dhal - 1 teaspoon
Roasted peanuts- 2 tablespoons
Curry leaves
Procedure
1.In a kadai dry roast red chillies and channa dhal.

2. In the same kadai, add the sesame seeds, cover it with a lid and allow the seeds to splutter.Immediately switch off the stove as the seeds may be overcooked.


3. In the mixie jar, first powder red chillies, channa dhal and salt. After that add the sesame seeds and just give a whip or two.

 4. Cook raw rice/ boiled rice. Spread it on a plate and add a tablespoon of sesame oil on top. Don't mix in between as the rice may become mushy.

5.Once the rice grains are separate, season it with mustard, urad dhal ,and curry leaves in a tablespoon of sesame oil.
6. Take 2-3 tablespoons of powder and mix that to the rice. Rest of the powder can be stored and used.
7.Serve it with raitha or papad.
